The value of advice
07 Oct 2025 4 min readEveryone has unique financial goals. Whether you’re saving for your first home or preparing for retirement, planning is required. It might sound like a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be. A financial planner can get you on the right track by using strategies that structure your money smarter.
NGS Super member, Dr Chris Duncan, is the Chief Executive Officer of the Association of Heads of Independent Schools Australia (AHISA). He first joined NGS Super in the late 1980s and more recently engaged an NGS Super financial planner to help achieve his financial goals.
Dr Duncan shares more about his experience.
“I sought financial planning advice from an NGS Financial Planner, which has more than paid for itself. It resulted in a clearly defined strategy to maximise my retirement benefits. Having someone guide me through the process and help identify options I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of was very beneficial. NGS Super understands the needs of members who work in the independent school sector and can therefore tailor their services, while allowing family and other members to also take advantage of their services, even if they are not employed in the sector.”
