Our Credentials
Matt Caughey, Founder and Managing Director
With over 20 years’ experience at leading New Zealand multinationals including Fonterra and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, I have held senior leadership roles spanning commercial strategy, commercial insights, and product management. This background provides a strong foundation for disciplined decision‑making, long‑term thinking, and evidence‑based advice.
I am a Licensed Financial Advice Provider (Class 2) and hold the New Zealand Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5).
My academic training includes an MBA (Beta Gamma Sigma) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA) and a Master of Commerce from the University of Canterbury (New Zealand). I am also a Member of the Institute of Directors (MInstD).
Alongside my advisory work, I serve on the Finance, Audit, Investment & Risk (FAIR) Committee of the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand, helping steward approximately $100 million in funds dedicated to advancing neurological research.
I have also established and chaired a Family Office Investment Committee, overseeing more than $10 million in assets, with responsibility for governance, portfolio construction, and long‑term capital stewardship.
Supporting the New Zealand investment industry
Where possible, we endeavour to partner with New Zealand-owned Investment Managers, Consultants and Service Providers, to do our part to grow the New Zealand investment management industry.
