This is an illustrative scenario: the people and details are for explanation only and are not a real client case. Every family’s outcome depends on its background and the policies in force at the time.
Background
Ms Ng (pseudonym), Hong Kong, property investor, husband. She wanted a more diversified investment and New Zealand residence.
Main concern
The Growth category’s higher-risk investments did not suit her preferences.
Our approach
She chose the Balanced category, investing NZD 10 million across commercial property development and several qualifying investments, planned together with our wealth management team.
Process and outcome
She received resident visas in about 10 months and is maintaining the investment for the five-year period.
Adviser’s comment
The Balanced category costs more, but its broader range suits investors who value diversification.
