Paul Harvey

BCom

Paul gained a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Canterbury in 1985. Over the next nine years he held a number of senior management roles in both finance and banking, primarily focusing on foreign exchange and money markets.

Paul began his career during one of the busiest periods in the New Zealand financial market's history. Not only was there deregulation of world markets, but more importantly, deregulation of New Zealand's financial markets and its economy, with the ensuing impact on people's lives. This experience was to be of considerable help later on in Paul's role as a financial planner.

'Hands-on' experience as a senior corporate dealer with the State Bank of South Australia provided an excellent base for a move into financial planning. In September 1993, Paul joined IPD Securities as a financial planner and continued with NZFP's Auckland office when NZFP and IPD merged their operations in 1996.

Since then, Paul has continued to build a successful practice and enjoys working with his business colleagues in a team environment. Most importantly, he is rewarded by helping his clients create and protect wealth so they can achieve financial security and enjoy the lifestyle they choose.

Paul enjoys all sports, especially tennis, though his quality of play doesn't always match the strength of his passion.

Paul and his wife have a son and live in Central Auckland.
