Chris Saunders
Principal Adviser
Authorised Representative and Credit Representative of Hillross Financial Services Limited
Chris has over 35 years’ diverse experience within the financial markets, funds management and the financial services industry. He has a passion for assisting clients achieve their individual financial and personal objectives whilst demonstrating true empathy and expertise in financial planning.
I have spent my career working in Senior management positions within the financial services and funds management industries.
These positions include Head of Distribution for a funds management company, CEO for a boutique financial planning business with assets totalling more than $2b and more recently I ran, owned and operated my own successful financial planning business prior to joining Hunter Wealth.
I am married with 4 wonderful children whom I love spending time with, whilst being an avid sports fan (armchair critic these days) having been a former Australian Rugby Sevens and NSW Waratah 1st XV Representative
I am also a keen but frustrated golfer, playing regularly up at my local club, The Killara Golf club, when relaxing on weekends!
Chris’s ideas of Financial Freedom
My philosophy about financial freedom is simple; To have the best of health and happiness, then the financial cushion that allows my family and I to live our best lives without restraint, always with gratitude and humility!
