First Samuel Limited

At First Samuel we know that you need information that is timely, useful, relevant and easy to understand. You will no longer receive masses of mail, nor have to fill in forms and lick stamps.

The practical bugbears of managing your own portfolio include responding in a timely and appropriate way to offers received by mail and keeping on top of the record keeping and filing. No wonder our new clients arrive at our door laden with bulging shoe boxes!

At First Samuel, we manage the entire administrative burden. As well as being your mailbox, we collect and bank all dividends, attend to settlements and registrations, manage transition requirements and rollovers, meet regular income payments and pay tax and other bills on your behalf.

You can check your portfolio any time via our secure Web-based reporting. Furthermore, our independently audited Annual Accountant's Pack and data for IAS/BAS purposes will keep your accountant and tax advisors happy.

Below are some of the things we manage for you, all as part of our service.
