Edwin’s Frequently Asked Questions
Clients can expect discovery conversations that often move beyond the issue that first led them to seek help and uncover what may be most critical to their future. Eddie refers to this as triage planning. He emphasizes attentive listening, regular communication, and serving as an experienced guide through a changing financial landscape.
Professional Background
Prior to establishing and growing his own firm from 2013 to 2025, Edwin was employed for 15 years at a regional broker-dealer in Melbourne. During this time, he was an integral part of a highly successful practice and specialized in client service, client advisory and portfolio management roles, as well as business management functions.
To better analyze market conditions and manage client portfolios, Edwin joined the CMT Association (formerly the Market Technicians Association) in 2011 and earned the CMT® or Chartered Market Technician™ designation in 2017. The CMT® program is a multi-year, self-study curriculum in the field of market technical analysis, and the designation is held by approximately 4,500 individuals worldwide.
Recognizing the importance of comprehensive financial planning in helping clients reach their goals, Edwin obtained his CFP® certification in 2021. As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Edwin works with clients in the areas of investment and tax planning, retirement and educational planning, estate and insurance planning, and financial management.
