About John Menelaou
John Menelaou has worked in the financial services industry since 1984 across a remarkable range of roles. He spent seven years in administration and marketing roles at National Mutual and nine years as a Business Development Manager with Professional Investment Services (now Centrepoint Alliance), gaining a thorough understanding of the industry from multiple vantage points before establishing himself as a Financial Adviser and Risk Insurance Specialist in 2008.
John takes a meticulous, needs-based approach to insurance advice — analysing each client's income, liabilities, lifestyle, and dependants to identify the exact level of cover required. He has a thorough knowledge of the Australian insurance market and takes pride in cutting through the complexity of policy wordings to ensure clients genuinely understand what they are — and are not — covered for.
Alongside his insurance expertise, John provides holistic investment management advice, helping clients build and maintain portfolios that complement their broader financial plan. He believes that a truly comprehensive financial strategy must address both the upside — wealth building — and the downside — risk protection — in equal measure.
John is a member of the Association of Financial Advisers Ltd and holds both a Diploma of Financial Planning and a Diploma of The Australian Insurance Institute — a combination of qualifications that reflects his dedication to both the planning and risk disciplines.
