About Salvatore

Salvatore is a Private Wealth Adviser in the Melbourne office for the Shadforth Financial Group.

Salvatore in his own words

I first became interested in a career in financial advice when I was at university and had the opportunity to take financial planning subjects; taught by practicing advisers. I had a lightbulb moment in my first class that I could help my parents and family, whilst forging a career assisting families across Australia. I realised how satisfying it would be to partner with individuals to better their financial situation and understand complex financial concepts, that in turn would lead them to achieve their goals.

Now 10 years later, I am a trusted adviser to my clients and enjoy the opportunity to get to know them and their families, their hopes and dreams, and work with them to achieve their lifestyle and financial goals. I’m passionate about providing strategic financial advice across all areas of wealth management and managing evidence-based and socially responsible investment portfolios for my clients.

As an employee of the largest fiduciary certified firm in Australia, I take an ethical and principle-based approach to serving my clients. I keep abreast of any changes to legislative and regulatory framework changes and have achieved the highest educational industry qualifications.

I work with a diverse range of clients, including those at the peak of their careers, successful professionals and executives and successful hardworking families.
