Michael and his team at Kuda Wealth provide thought leadership & innovation across Portfolio Management, Self Managed Superannuation, Retirement Planning, Wealth Creation & Business Succession.

On a personal level; Michael prefers Netflix, Foxtel, Stan and Amazon Prime Video to the detriment of his waistline and his under-utilised gym membership. He is supported by his partner Millicent and children Ruby, James, Thomas and Belle. He's an Essendon supporter with a love and appreciation for everything the beautiful City of Melbourne has to offer.

On a business level; Michael prefers the road less travelled & unlike the lone traveller in Frost's poem; he feels privileged to be the chief economic travelling companion for his clients.
