Sam Martin
My focus is on you and your goals, so I prefer to keep the investment strategy simple and not make my recommendations overly complicated.
I’m fortunate that I have a career I thoroughly enjoy. My role involves so much more than just numbers. I help clients with the ups and downs of their lives.
I’m passionate about providing you with comprehensive strategic advice – whether you’re just starting out on your wealth building journey, or are nearing retirement.
I particularly enjoy working with clients in the pre-retirement phase – so if you’re planning to retire in the next five to 10 years, I’d love to help you get there.
I very much value and enjoy the long-term relationships I’ve built with many clients, and look forward to building one with you also.
The number one thing I love about my job is having really meaningful conversations with people. Financial planning is rarely about number crunching and more about understanding people.
I appreciate and understand it’s usually the ‘little things’ that are most important – such as family celebrations, travels, births and deaths – so they need to be to planned for appropriately.
I aim to make complex financial issues, like Superannuation and Centrelink (the Aged Pension) simple. My goal is to have happy, educated clients, who see the value in our ongoing relationship.
After 40 years in the financial services profession John Oliver is now enjoying a much-deserved retirement. Goldsborough would like to thank John for all he has done to make our business what it is today, and we wish him all the very best for this next chapter.
I work closely with Craig Kirkwood, assisting him with all aspects of personal insurance, quoting, formal advice documents, applications, claims, and ongoing service.

Latest insights

Whilst there is often no single cause for market volatility, there are some conditions that can lead to it. In recent times, we have seen concerns about when interest rates and inflation, the perception of a housing market bubble, and instability in global affairs affect the ability of investors to obtain a reliable picture of the future. While these kinds of stories are not new and may not have triggered the recent stock market fall, they are some of the forces at play in the current market turmoil.
The type of concession card you may be eligible for is based on your age and circumstances. A Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) is issued to pensioners, a Low Income Health Care Card (LIHCC), is issued to someone on lower income, regardless of their age, and a Commonwealth Seniors health Card (CSHC), is available to someone who is above age pension age and doesn’t qualify for any social security payment.
The last 3 years in markets have been a challenging time, first came COVID and then the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Household consumption is the primary force behind economic growth and it’s been experiencing a difficult combination of soaring mortgage rates, increased living expenses and persistent inflation. Together, these things are causing a decrease in disposable income. These strains are likely to persist for a while yet and are causing the short-term fluctuations you might be seeing in your portfolios, depending on your level of share exposure.
