About me
Meet me, Mat Hallam, Director and dedicated financial planner. I’m passionate about changing the way people think and feel about wealth and financial planning, helping them take control of their future with confidence.

Leading the charge in innovative Financial Planning and Wealth Management
I’m a a dynamic entrepreneur and experienced market strategist with a strong focus on innovation, technology, and global market trends. In my role as a Fund Manager I launched a new Alternative Investments division as well as the Middle East’s first-ever commodity fund. My creation has consistently exceeded global benchmarks, highlighting my expertise in financial management and lead to me managing of in excess of $1.1 billionAUD. This further enhanced my previous experience as a senior stockbroker for many years in Melbourne.
Throughout my career, I have become a sought-after market commentator, sharing insights on Australian and global markets in interviews with major media outlets like ABC and Reuters. My professional journey spans five countries, offering me a rich mix of cultural and professional experiences that shape my forward-thinking approach.
After relocating to the Peninsula four years ago (which I love) I embraced a lifestyle balancing entrepreneurship with family and community.
I’m deeply committed to contributing to local community development. During my roadshow tour across regional Victoria, I had the privilege of educating diverse audiences on investing and trading. My passion for continuous learning fuels my involvement with local boards, where I apply strategic insights to drive growth and enhance community engagement.
