About your host
In my 20 years as a financial adviser, I’ve discovered that my purpose is to help my clients to find their purpose.
Then, we build a financial world based on what’s important to them.
This approach is at the heart of my business, Rasiah Private Wealth Management. I launched it in 2017, and have been fortunate ever since to help numerous people across different life stages achieve their goals.
In my earlier career, I worked in boutique financial planning companies as well as at Shadforth, one of the biggest financial advice firms Australia.
I’ve always focused on upholding the highest professional standards in the industry. I don’t work with commissions, which means no conflicts of interest. I serve on various committees at the Financial Planning Association (FPA), and am a Fellow of the Financial Services Institute of Australasia (FINSIA).
I’ve enjoyed sharing my knowledge about money matters on 3AW and ABC talk-back radio, in The Age, Sydney Morning Herald and Herald Sun newspapers, and also in the national senior's newspaper, Fifty-Plus News.
On the personal front, I love spending time with my wife and two young children in our hometown of Melbourne. I enjoy all sports, especially running, basketball and golf… although family and work usually keep me too busy to get the clubs out!
