General Questions
The section contains answers to general questions related to Investment queries.
Your first meeting can take up to two hours. In this time we address your goals and objectives, current financial position and personal situation. It is an opportunity for us to get to know you and you to assess whether we are the right fit for you. If you have brought your financial documents or copies of them, this will speed up the process. This investment of time ensures we understand you and what you are looking for.
During your first appointment, we will establish why you are seeking our services, what your goals are and what you expect from us. To assist us, we ask that you bring in as many documents as you can, such as photo ID (PAN Card & Aadhaar Card), tax returns, superannuation, loan and bank statements, copies of wills, insurance details, and/or a budget.
Your initial appointment with Unbox Money is provided free of charge.
At the initial consultation, we provide you with a fact sheet and scheme-related offer documents and risks associated with the investment. You should take the time to read all documents carefully before signing and returning to us. There is no rush to make a decision and typically clients take one day to two weeks to make a decision. We commence work once a signed document received from the client.
We do not offer accounting services. We are happy to work with your existing accountant or we can provide a referral to an accountant if you do not have one. Similarly, we are not lawyers and do not do legal work. We will happily work with your existing lawyer or refer you to one if you don’t already have one.

Passively managed index funds or ETFs work well in efficient markets, where the probability of consistent outperformance is close to zero (especially after taxes and fees). However, actively managed funds work well in inefficient markets. The investor can invest in actively managed funds if they are confident that the fund manager can profitably exploit the inefficiencies (again, net of taxes and fees).

Investment cycles philosophy is founded on historical perspective and market knowledge. History has shown that investment cycles repeat themselves, providing a range of expected performance, however, it is not reasonable that one can “time” buying or selling within a market cycle. We believe that a diversified portfolio that is thoughtfully structured and implemented will provide an investor with a greater likelihood of better, more stabilized performance through these market cycles.
