Our Goal Is To Produce Positive Returns For All Of Our Clients In All Market Conditions

At SCL, our ultimate aim is to win the trust of our clients. This feeling of trust may take years to achieve, but it is the true test of a job well done. Our goal is to produce positive returns for our clients in all market conditions. We aim to protect capital first and foremost, and with this underlying objective, to find investments and build portfolios which can generate growth and income above that on offer through bank deposits. Over the last ten years under Mark’s direction, we have been successful in shielding clients’ portfolios from the two major crises which have impacted investors, the GFC and the collapse of the New Zealand finance company sector. None of our clients lost a cent in any finance company debenture or deposit.

Northland Paddleboarding

New Zealand's longest running SUP school

The first full-time SUP school to be established in New Zealand, Northland Paddleboarding is a registered and Accredited stand-up paddleboarding school, with a team of highly qualified instructors. Rather than aiming for high throughput and quick turnarounds, Northland Paddleboarding has always been about personal service and ensuring that our clients get what they need. The pace of life is slower in Northland, it's why we live here. We'd rather take a bit longer with your lesson, spend some more time getting to really understand your requirements and give you the best possible service. We coach at every level, from beginners (individuals and groups) through to advanced level race and surf coaching. We're blessed with a location that really is pretty much perfect for paddleboard tuition, at any level. Whatever your requirements we will be able and happy to help!
