About

iNZvest - A unique solution to offshore investors

iNZvest is an investment platform that differs to most.

We established iNZvest to promote New Zealand investment support to non-resident investors.  For over a decade, management of iNZvest have collectively provided transaction support to non-residents on inbound investment.

As a result of this and Andrew Sayers’s focus on investor migrant advisory support, we have established a significant database of high net worth individuals and corporations looking to New Zealand for migration (investor visa applicants) or for direct investment.  We have also established strong working relationships with New Zealand top advisory specialists in the field of investor support.

iNZvest differs to most similar platforms – we manage transaction support and are not financial advisors or brokers.  Non-resident investors face significant challenges and risks when investing in other jurisdictions.  New Zealand’s legislative framework, the financial modelling, and structuring of a deal is unique.

iNZvest provide this wrap around service specifically for these investors.  No matter what the investor needs are, we can manage them seamlessly via our hand selected partner network.

By centrally managing investors needs, iNZvest coordinate transaction services to ensure that New Zealand expert advisors are always ‘on the same page’ throughout transactions.  Rather than investors obtaining standalone advisory services from parties they don’t know personally, we manage the provision of these services centrally.  This not only ensures that investors obtain the best holistic advice, but this centralisation of management also improves advisory deliverables such as accuracy of scope, advisory quality, timeframes, and reduces the overall cost of transaction services.

Our hand selected network are bespoke to each transaction and there are no financial kickbacks or referral incentives between these parties and iNZvest.  This way you can be assured that parties are chosen for their capability to add value to a transaction.
