Noah

Noah Schiltknecht, CFA

Consultant and Founder

Noah founded Makao Investments to help lift the investment advice in New Zealand and the Pacific to a better standard, and to make advice more affordable for smaller institutional clients.

Before founding Makao in 2019, Noah was the head of the institutional team at Russell Investments in New Zealand, advising a broad range of large institutional clients on investment strategy, asset allocation and manager selection. In his two decades in financial services Noah also gained experience in infrastructure valuation, capital management and structuring of insurance risk transfer solutions.

He is a New Zealand, Swiss and French citizen and lives with his wife and three kids on the Hibiscus Coast. He enjoys spending time with the family, surfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding and travelling. He also likes to read books to understand our world a bit better and enjoys watching sports and movies. And despite having been in New Zealand for more than ten years, he has not given up hope that the Warriors will win the Rugby League Grand Final one day.
