After working for more than two decades in the private banking sector Daryl Buckingham decided it was time for a change and has joined Read at Rival's Albert St office in Auckland.

“I love the fact that Rival Wealth clients are not just a number,” says Buckingham.

“I have found the philosophy and principles of Rival Wealth fit nicely with my own."

"Rival Wealth has a team approach to reviewing their portfolio mix, so Daryl will be a lot more hands-on than he was in his previous role," says Rival co-founder Tim Fairbrother.

“Daryl has the expertise and core values that make him a perfect fit with our team. It feels like the stars have aligned and the timing of Daryl joining couldn’t have been better."

Fairbrother says the introduction of the new financial advice regime on March 15 has highlighted how important it is to have compliant and consistent processes.

“As we offer Discretionary Investment Management Services (DIMS), our process had been thoroughly checked, giving our advisers the ability to focus on putting client relationships first,” he says.
