Our Story

Built on Experience, Defined by Alignment.

We believe you can’t plan for your future by plugging information into a web page and seeing what gets spat out. Real advice requires a personalized process and a human connection.

"Do what's right for the client every time."

— Our Core Principle

Financial Advice
Should Feel Simple.

Most people juggle multiple advisers—a bank for lending, a provider for KiwiSaver, a broker for insurance. That often means repeating your story, managing separate relationships, and hoping everything connects.

Axico was built to remove that friction.

We’ve created one place where your lending, investments and protection strategy work together. Clear. Connected. Long-term.

Not Just Advice. Alignment.

Not Just Advice. Alignment.

We believe your financial life shouldn’t be fragmented. Everything works together.

Lending

Your mortgage impacts your investment decisions.

Investments

Your insurance impacts your lending capacity.

Protection

Your income protection protects your long-term plan.

Everything works together. You don’t need to retell your story every time.

Meet the Team

It’s important that you know the people behind the business, just as we get to know you. The Axico team have a long history working in the insurance industry. We also pride ourselves in having outside interests, and life experience, putting them in a better position to advise you than an online insurance quiz!

Simon Yarrell

Axico Advisor

Simon has quite the pedigree, his Dad was a successful Advisor for 40 years so it’s in the blood. Simon’s inner strength and resilience have been honed with many years competing in the Coast to Coast multi-sport event (he has won both the two day individual and two day team’s events) and the Taupo Iron Man.

In more recent years a true appreciation of the importance of our profession became apparent in a very personal way when he broke his back in a ski accident. Although Simon miraculously made a full recovery he was off work for seven months and in that time developed an intimate knowledge of the workings of ACC and first hand experience of the importance of robust personal income protection and mortgage payment insurance.

What We Believe

Simple Advice

Financial advice should feel simple, not overwhelming. We cut through the noise to find clarity.

Lending Matters

Lending structure matters as much as interest rates. We connect your debt strategy with your wealth goals.

Long-term Trust

Long-term trust is more valuable than short-term income. If it doesn’t improve your position, we won’t recommend it.
