RIAA Certified Ethical Financial Adviser Business
Independent certification of how we define, assess, and deliver ethical investment advice.
What this means for Moneyworks
All three Moneyworks advisers are individually certified by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) as Ethical Financial Advisers.
In 2022, Moneyworks was also certified at a business level, making us only the second advice firm in New Zealand to receive this recognition at the time.
Business certification goes beyond individual knowledge. It assesses how ethical considerations are embedded across our advice process, investment research, portfolio construction, client communication and governance.
For clients, this provides independent assurance that ethical investing is not an add-on or preference, but a structured and consistently applied part of how we work.
