CENTURIA CAPITAL LIMITED
A single decision can change your life, and that's exactly what Centuria Capital joint chief executive Jason Huljich learned when he came to Australia in the 1990s. Eliza Bavin writes.
After being in the industry for 20 years, I still find it difficult to understand why Financial Planners don't focus on what the objectives are for the client. Then what the strategy is to help them get there. Product becomes secondary. It should not matter whether you are with an aligned Licensee or not.
