A team of financial advisers based at 47 Carlyle Street in Sydenham, Christchurch, Axico covers four areas: general insurance, life insurance, mortgages and investments, and it is best known in its reviews for insurance and KiwiSaver work. The advisers work with clients across Christchurch and New Zealand, and the business says it puts people first and works for the client rather than the provider. Its advisers are engaged through Wealthpoint Limited, which holds a financial advice provider licence. Advice starts with a chat over a coffee, and the firm says it does not charge for its advice, as it is paid by the provider in almost all cases.
Customers describe competitive insurance quotes, KiwiSaver plans tailored to their goals, and advisers who pointed out gaps in existing cover. One family moved all its insurance to the firm, and another person said the team helped them plan for buying a first home. Clients say responses are quick and the process is straightforward, with no pressure.
