Richard Marsden is the principal adviser at Marsden Wealth Advisers and has 30 years’ experience in helping people retire successfully.  Since 1995, Richard has helped his clients through a number of swings in the financial markets – the good, the bad and the ugly - whilst navigating continuous changes in legislation and financial regulation.  His recipe for client success, that has stood the test of time, is for clients to have good strategies married with optimal tax structure and sound, diversified investments, all aligned to meet their personal goals.  Richard supports every member of the Marsden Wealth Advisers team with his philosophy and experience.

Richard believes in financial education and enjoys providing his views on financial strategy through written articles, e-books, podcasts, seminar and webinars.  He is a highly sought-after speaker on financial wellness, and has also acted as an expert witness in financial advice related legal proceedings.

Good financial advice makes a real difference in life, and as part of promoting his profession Richard actively employs and mentors younger advisers to develop their skills.  He shares the sense of achievement and fulfilment when a Professional Year candidate makes it through to become a qualified financial adviser.

Living and working from New York from 2011 to 2019 gave Richard a lived experience of expat life and a personal understanding of the tax and financial implications for expats leaving and returning to Australia.

Richard is married to Laurie Marsden, an accomplished psychotherapist and author, with their two adult children now in university.  Outside of work, Richard enjoys spending time with his family, recreational bike riding and reading for interest and pleasure.
