JOHN CLARK Embodying the principles that drive business success – considered, planned, clear focus, vision, leadership and drive. These attributes have enabled John Clark to… …create and sustain a leading business advisory and investment management business which has provided successful outcomes to business owners and families for over 30 years. John is now the Executive Chairman of Cameron Harrison. Having been Managing Partner and then National Chairman and International Board member of a leading accounting firm, he brings to us the strength of values and principles that have underpinned his extensive career. Uniquely in professional services, John has been an advocate of business focus, believing it is an instrumental element in business success. In managing a leading business advisory and investment management organization, he believed that the focus should be on the business owner or ultimate decision maker of family wealth. It is through this focus that he led the development of the required specialist knowledge, expertise, methods and processes for effectively advising families, in terms of both their business and private investment affairs. The result which Cameron Harrison benefits from, is an effective integrated client service proposition, covering a highly regarded client planning process, to the comprehensive integration of taxation and asset structuring, with estate and retirement income planning and investment management.

All rights reserved. Within the Cameron Harrison business, John is able to see the key tenets of his investment management philosophy applied and further developed. Independence is central to how John views investment management and advising clients. He saw that the actual realization of this principle ought to be more far reaching than generally thought or accepted. To be independent is not merely a phrase, but must be truly embedded in what and how the business does it. This ultimately must mean the independence of thought, free from pressure, bias and coercion. You cannot really act in your clients’ best interests if you do not understand and effect this principle in all that you do. It is through John’s insights, so practically applied in business advisory and investment management, that clients have been able to benefit.
