Andrew Foo

Astute Manly has a close relationship with Andrew Foo from Apexx Wealth who can provide you with objectively sound financial advice. Please find below an extract of Andrew’s bio:

I grew up with a large loving close-knit extended family with very strong family values. My parents emigrated to Australia in the 1980s and called this great country we live in home.

I completed a Bachelor of Business (University of Technology, Sydney) in 2007 focusing on Personal Financial Advice and began my career in financial services as a graduate at Macquarie Bank. Being selected for the only role within the Financial Planning group out of thousands of applicants was truly humbling. I progressed through various managerial roles within the bank and worked closely with many financial advisers and their practices during my time there.

I am very passionate about helping people obtain true objective financial advice. I have found that throughout my time as a financial adviser, people lacked defined goals and this meant their investing activities had no set timeframes or strategic links to specific outcomes in the future. I place a large emphasis on educating my clients around the key concepts of investing and ‘financial risk’ and how it is a critical part in the achievement of their financial goals. I have a desire to see my clients build strong and sustainable financial foundations in their homes.

They key areas of advice we focus on include:

  • Superannuation Strategies (including SMSFs)
  • Insurance Protection
  • Investment Portfolio Creation
  • Cashflow Management Planning
  • Pre-Retirement and Retirement Planning

I look forward to meeting you if you’d like to get in touch.
FSG.

What Our Clients Have To Say

Having Sam, Claire, Kirsty and the team at Astute take care of our loans has been wonderful. They have been brilliant with leading us through the loan process many times over the past decade. Making what is normally a daunting process very easy.

Stew & Michelle, Forestville

Dear Sam and Jason

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the help you have given me in finding the right vehicle for me and then sorting the finance out for me.

The service I received was exceptional and the help and support provided in getting everything complete in time was better than any I have received before.

It’s great to know there are still people out there prepared to put 120% into getting their clients what they nee.

Thank you again, I will certainly recommend Astute to all my friends and colleagues.

Sam, Central Coast

We have known Sam for the past three years now.

Sam has made the investing side of our lives a lot simpler than what we understood in the past. Always just a phone call away for great advice when we need it in limited time.

I have recommended Astute Manly to a number of our family and friends who have given me great feedback on their experiences working alongside Sam.

Luke and Karen Pride Electrical Contractors, Cromer

Sam, Claire and the entire team at Astute were an absolute pleasure to deal with during our home loan process. Prior to Astute, we had been rejected for a loan and were feeling disheartened. Astute not only had us preapproved in just a few weeks, they got us MORE than what we needed to get our dream place. They are experts in the field, know all the industry secrets and I would recommend them for anyone looking to get a loan. No doubt we’ll be using them again in the future!

Thank you Sam, Claire & team for everything!

Lindsay & Jake Bennett, Manly

Van, Sam, Kirsty, and the rest of the team were great to work with and made things a breeze to complete. With their combined technical knowledge, they were able to source me a variety of home loans and structures to choose from, at an excellent rate. Once lodged, they guided us to complete all the necessary paperwork without any hassles. They kept us well informed and were a pleasure to work with. I will definitely recommend their services to friends and family in the future!

David & Vanessa, Springwood

Can’t recommend Sam enough! He helped me and my partner secure our first property giving us several options to choose from and provided great advice every step of the way. He was very responsive whenever we needed him and made the whole process seem easier than we thought especially given we needed a quick turnaround.

Jonathan, Manly

Sam and the team did everything to get us our finance and in a short period of time. Very grateful for his knowledge and persistence to navigate through a stressful time.

Alanna, Kingsford
