Broker Southern Highlands (Bowral, Mittagong, Moss Vale) — Clear, Practical Advice
Looking for a friendly, plain-English Broker Bowral who knows the Southern Highlands and understands what you’re trying to achieve? Welcome—I’m Jacqui Hunter. I help locals make confident, well-informed decisions about investing, superannuation (including SMSFs), and ASX-listed shares and ETFs. Whether you’re building a first portfolio, reviewing a long-held position, or wanting a steady hand to navigate market noise, you’ll find straightforward guidance, clear communication, and a down-to-earth approach.
I believe good advice should feel calm and practical—never overwhelming. You set the goals; I help you map the steps. No jargon, no hype, and no pressure. Just sensible strategies tailored to your stage of life, your comfort with risk, and your timeframe.
Why choose a local Broker in Bowral?
There’s a world of information out there. But what really matters is how it applies to you—your plans, your family, your business, your retirement horizon. Working with a Broker Bowral means you get:
- Local insight & accessibility
Face-to-face meetings in the Highlands (or video if you prefer), quick replies, and a genuine relationship with someone who’s nearby, not a call centre. - Plain-English conversations
Clear explanations of options, risks, and trade-offs—so you can make decisions without second-guessing. - Calm, consistent process
A steady framework for reviewing, rebalancing, and adjusting as life changes. No knee-jerk reactions; just good habits. - Tailored strategies
Portfolios shaped to your goals and risk tolerance, whether you’re just starting or managing a substantial balance. - Alignment with your values
Prefer sustainable themes? Want to keep things simple and low-maintenance? We’ll reflect that in your strategy. - A long-term partner
Someone who learns your story and stays in your corner through market cycles, career changes, and retirement.
What I do (and how it helps)
I specialise in helping locals invest with confidence, build resilient portfolios, and make sensible choices with super, especially for Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs). Here’s a snapshot of services and how each supports your outcomes.
1) ASX Stockbroking & Trade Execution
Carefully considered trading in ASX-listed shares, ETFs, and listed investment companies (LICs). This includes:
- Trade ideas aligned with your strategy and risk profile
- Execution with attention to timing, liquidity, and costs
- Clear trade confirmations and easy-to-understand records
- Ongoing portfolio monitoring and review rhythms
How it helps: Efficient execution and a structured review cadence can reduce admin headaches and keep your investments pointing in the right direction.
2) Portfolio Design & Rebalancing
Thoughtful portfolio construction using diversified building blocks—shares, ETFs, LICs, and cash—aligned to your timeframe and comfort with risk. Then, scheduled check-ins and rebalancing to keep things on track.
How it helps: A clear, rules-based approach minimises emotional decisions and helps your portfolio do its job through different market conditions.
3) SMSF Advice & Support
If you’re operating—or considering—an SMSF, I can help with investment strategy, portfolio governance, and practical steps for keeping things tidy.
- Investment strategy aligned to your trust deed and objectives.
- ASX investment recommendations suitable for SMSFs
- Collaboration with your accountant and administrator
- Regular reporting and review meetings
How it helps: An SMSF offers flexibility, but it comes with responsibility. I keep your investment process clear, documented, and manageable.
4) Retirement Planning & Income Strategies
Turning super into an income you can rely on is different from simply “saving more”. I help plan the transition—how to draw tax-effective income, how to manage risk, and how to keep things sustainable.
How it helps: Confidence to enjoy retirement, knowing your investments have a sensible plan for growth, income, and volatility.
5) Wealth Building for Busy Professionals & Families
Short on time? I provide practical frameworks for regular investing, simplifying decisions and helping you avoid analysis paralysis.
How it helps: Momentum. Small, consistent steps build real progress—without taking over your week.
6) Succession & Intergenerational Conversations
If you’re supporting parents, helping adult children, or preparing to pass on assets, I can facilitate clear, respectful conversations and help align investment structures.
How it helps: Everyone understands the plan, reducing confusion and future stress.

FAQs (straight answers, no spin)
Is stockbroking risky?
All investing involves risk. My role is to help you understand those risks, diversify sensibly, and choose an approach that fits your tolerance and timeframe.
Can you work with my accountant or SMSF administrator?
Absolutely. Collaboration keeps everything aligned and saves you time.
Do you only recommend shares?
No. Many portfolios use a mix of ASX shares, ETFs, LICs, and cash to balance growth and income.
How often will we review?
We’ll agree on a rhythm that suits you—often quarterly or half-yearly—with additional conversations if something significant changes.
Do you offer ethical or sustainable options?
Yes. If you have preferences or exclusions, we’ll reflect them in your portfolio construction.
Can we meet online?
Of course. Video meetings work well if you’re travelling or prefer to connect from home.

No. The information here is general in nature. I’ll provide personal advice once I understand your objectives, financial situation, and needs.

A quick guide to sensible investing
While every portfolio is personal, a few principles tend to serve people well:
- Define the goal first – Growth, income, or a blend? Over what timeframe?
- Diversify – Spread risk across sectors and asset types; don’t rely on one story.
- Keep costs in view – Be mindful; they compound too.
- Rebalance deliberately – Set rules, review regularly, and adjust with purpose.
- Stay the course – Accept that markets rise and fall; make measured changes, not impulsive ones.
- Document decisions – A short note on “why” helps you stay consistent later.
I’ll help you translate these ideas into a concrete plan that fits your life.
