Just like modern cars come equipped with essential safety features, your investment portfolio should be built with protection in mind.


In this episode, our General Manager and Financial Adviser, Rory O’Neill, joins host Tim Ewen, our Risk Insurance Manager and avid car enthusiast, to explore how the safety systems in today’s vehicles mirror the protective strategies found in smart investment portfolios.


Think about it: you wouldn’t put your family in an unsafe vehicle, so why risk your financial future with an unprotected investment strategy?
