19 February 2019Richard
25-35 years old"Nucleus Wealth offer a great product with outstanding dashboarding tools that allow investors to drill all the way down into their investment and view each holding. Great customer support. Strongly recommend."
19 February 2019David
36-45 years old"The Nucleus Wealth offering from risk profile assessment and platform asset management is incredibly easy to use. The customer support is responsive, informative, polite and caters to a wide group of investor experience. The service overall has exceeded my expectations and proven the benefits of an active fund manager in these uncertain times. I'm very happy with how the fund has been managed and re-balanced over the period I've been invested and would certainly recommend Nucleus to friends and family. "

25-35 years old"Nucleus Wealth was easy to use, though the charting options were not straight forward. The customer support was excellent. I would definitely recommend it to friends. "
03 July 2019Dave
36-45 years old"Fund performance was excellent during challenging conditions. For me it was an excellent alternative to most domestic (AU) investment options such as ASX, and as such really helped to diversify internationally and minimise risk. Staff have been easy to communicate with. I was also pleased to make use of the ethical & environmental filters. "
13 August 2019Jarek
36-45 years old"The team has been very helpful and accommodating with my needs. Have recommended it to friends. "
30 August 2019Edward
25-35 years old"Nucleus Wealth is very easy to use and extremely transparent, not to mention consistently market beating performance. I can see the exact amount of every share/investment owned in my account, combined with low fees and a very clear communication of their investment strategy. I am also a member of the affiliated Macro Business, and the regular Nucleus Wealth video updates on the economy in general and more specifically how that has recently impacted their investment decisions is very insightful. Would and have recommended to friends and family."

13 August 2020Richard
36-45 years old"Great tool and great ethical team of guys trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately they are not great investors, and I have lost money as a result."
10 November 2020Andrew
56-65 years old"The online Nucleus Wealth Portal works well and, given a little time, is easy to understand. I have experienced personal attention from Nucleus Wealth which is in a different league to any other online wealth management provider I have engaged with. The overall performance has exceeded all benchmarks I compare it to. Highly recommended"
20 May 2021Philip
46-55 years old"Nucleus Wealth stood out head and shoulders above alternative options. They are consistently helpful, transparent and responsive. You are never left feeling like a number. The transparency, low fees and prudent risk-aversion elevate our confidence in their ability to perform. Highly recommended. "
07 December 2021Caroline
56-65 years old"Nucleus Wealth adviser tool was very easy to use. Investment strategies for my portfolio managed through Nucleus Wealth were based on my self-assessed risk profile. I was able to tweak this for shorter term self-management by selecting a 'cash' and/or pure equities option on the basis of self-assigned percentages. However, change of mind during the allocation process led to initial reports generated prior to final submission which may have been due to user issues when the 'back' button was employed. The option of divesting 'tactical' management to Nucleus advisers with regards an Accumulation or Growth portfolio was provided, again allowing percentage allocation. The ability to view transparency of the allocations as well as the resulting record of individual transactions administered by the separate broker facility was very empowering. "
22 February 2022Scott
36-45 years old"I moved from one of the big name Super funds 3 years ago to Nucleus Wealth as I was aware Nucleus are investor focused. They have a fantastic platform that shows daily performance since joining and the current holding values. You can't choose exactly what shares to invest in, but can exclude an array of sectors (including overseas) if you wish, which is a great feature. You can also choose passive investment (or a percentage of your portfolio) if you wish to save on management fees. Nucleus Wealth is highly recommended for someone that wants absolute transparency in their Super."
