Advice Built on Trust and Understanding

who we are

A Personal Approach to Financial Advice

Based in the heart of Nelson, we work with individuals, families, and business owners across the Nelson Tasman region, and throughout New Zealand, providing personalised financial advice.

For us, financial advice is about more than products and policies. It’s about building lasting relationships and helping you create greater confidence in your financial future.

We’re passionate about helping people make confident financial decisions at every stage of life and we believe the best advice starts with a conversation.

As part of the wider Wealthpoint network, we combine the strength of a New Zealand financial advice provider, with the personalised service of a local team. That means you benefit from broad expertise and resources, enabling us to offer trusted guidance across insurance, investments, KiwiSaver, retirement planning, and wealth management, while still working with advisers who understand the unique needs of the Nelson and Tasman community.

    Financial Adviser and Insurance Specialist
    Nigel Rukuwai

    My work is all about people. I’m passionate about understanding what truly matters to my clients and helping them feel confident and supported in their financial decisions. Whether that’s choosing the right insurance, planning for retirement, or getting the most from KiwiSaver and investments. I take a holistic approach, getting to know clients well so the advice we build together genuinely reflects their lives, goals, and values.

    As Managing Director of Wealthpoint Nelson and Chairman of Wealthpoint Ltd (NZ), I’m proud to lead our teams while staying closely connected to the clients and families we work alongside. Working directly with people and helping them feel confident about their financial future remains the most rewarding part of what I do.

    Outside of the office, life is a good mix of fresh air and family time. I love being in the garden, taking “just a quick” trip to Bunnings or spending time with my family and our energetic dog, Elsie. These moments often remind me why helping others protect what they care about is so important.

    If you’re looking for an adviser who values genuine relationships and takes the time to understand your goals, I’d be delighted to help you plan for your future.

    Peta-Lee Buckley

    I am passionate about helping clients understand what truly matters to them when it comes to managing their money. Once we uncover their goals, we work together to create a clear and achievable path forward. My approach is centred on building genuine relationships, getting to know my clients well, understanding their unique circumstances, and ensuring they feel supported, informed, and confident in every decision they make.

    I believe everyone can benefit from quality financial advice at key stages of life, and I love taking the time to connect, chat, and guide clients through the options available to them. My areas of expertise are managed funds, KiwiSaver and retirement planning. With over 15 years’ experience in the financial advice industry, I’m committed to helping clients make choices that will positively shape their long-term financial wellbeing.

    Originally from South Africa, I met my Kiwi husband while on my OE in London, and New Zealand has been home ever since. Outside of work, Glen and I enjoy planning family trips and exploring new places whenever we can. With our three children now venturing into study and work, we’re embracing the fun and freedom that comes with an ‘empty nest’.

    If you’re seeking an adviser who is approachable, thorough, and dedicated to supporting you in achieving your financial goals, I would be pleased to guide you through the process.

    I first discovered the importance of having the right insurance in place when I started working in financial services at 24. Now, with more than a decade of experience, and as a mum of two young girls, I genuinely appreciate the peace of mind that good life and health insurance can bring to a family.

    I love talking with people about their goals, their concerns, and the “what ifs” that can feel overwhelming. Over the years, I’ve naturally become the goto insurance person among my peers, especially for those in their twenties and thirties who are juggling careers, young families, and the realities of adult life. I understand those challenges firsthand and enjoy helping people feel informed, confident, and supported in their decisions.

    Outside of work, you’ll usually find me enjoying a good coffee, exploring Nelson’s dining scene, unwinding at the gym or on a walk with friends and family.

    If you’ve been thinking about your own circumstances and would like some guidance around personal risk insurance, I’m here to make the tricky conversations feel easier.
