David Novac
Wealthwise Co-founder, Educator, Speaker

With many hard lessons learned throughout his 35+ years in the stock market (including the 1987 crash), his expertise in global markets and future trends is renowned as being insightful and realistic.

Despite leaving school at 15, by the age of 27, David Novac was the Financial Controller of a $6 billion Merchant Bank. With a solid background in Merchant Banking, Finance and Accounting David was well established in corporate financial circles. David’s passion for the dynamic world of the stock market led him to leave the corporate world. In 1997 David Novac and Kate Sheehan co-founded Wealthwise Education.

David’s infectious passion for the markets means he keeps his finger on the pulse of global markets on a daily basis, ensuring the Wealthwise Education learning materials remain fresh and relevant.

He shares this wealth of knowledge in a refreshing, simple and clear manner. David leads you, step by step, through how the stock market really works. He is skilled at taking seemingly complex ideas and explaining them in a way that is readily understood and can be applied with confidence.

David has an international reputation and is a sought after keynote speaker on the stock market:

  • David appears regularly on ‘The Call’, Ausbiz with David Koch.  For more than a decade he appeared as co-host on ‘Your Money – Trading Day’ Channels 95 & 601; on Sky Business ‘Lunch Money’ and ‘Market Day’; an expert panellist on ‘Your Money, Your Call’ and ‘Bonds Vs Equities’ TV Shows.
  • presented for Anthony Robbins’ ‘Wealth Mastery’ and
  • Robert Kiyosaki’s (best selling author of ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad) ‘Financial Intelligence’ & ‘Fundamentals of Investing’ Programs. Robert praising David’s knowledge said, “David Novac is one of the best ‘stock-pickers’ I know. David uses a combination of fundamental & technical analysis.”

David has also led many personal development and financial training programs for multi-national corporations.

David’s presenting style is personable and down-to-earth. He doesn’t hype people up; he teaches strategies, techniques and how to apply them whether the stock market is going up or down. His content is current, practical and effective. He covers the nitty-gritty of how to analyse, profit and protect stock market investments.

One of David’s strengths is his ability to demystify the complex world of the stock market. That is one of the strongest themes in the many testimonials that are evidence of the success of his involvement in a workshop, keynote or television appearance.

Importantly, David believes the best form of education is practical and likes to engage with his audience. While David’s keynote presentations or workshops, are both useful and entertaining, it’s the results you get from his education that will keep you inspired and motivated.

David’s personal journey and market experience, shared in the Wealthwise Education Workshops and learning products, will contribute greatly to your success in the markets.

David Novac’s formal qualifications include: RG146 Compliant under FSRA and an Accredited Derivatives Advisor, Level 2 (ASX).

How is Wealthwise different from other Financial Educators?

We do not feed on hype and your emotions and promote ‘Quick Rich’ strategies.

We encourage the use of sound strategies for building wealth in the stock market – and keeping it. If you follow Wealthwise’s structured approach, strategies and rules, financial independence can follow but it does require dedication, persistence and some effort.

Our courses are reasonably priced to provide access to all individuals who want to take control of their financial future.

Wealthwise has built its success based on trust and referrals, not marketing. Trust in our methodology and education process has provided graduates with an invaluable return on their investment.

Our class sizes are small.

This provides participants the opportunity to actively participate in our workshops and allows us to provide individual support where it is needed. Through sharing with other people in the course you gain a much richer understanding of the materials taught.

We offer graduates on-going support beyond the courses.

Following each course we keep in touch with you via practical exercises to implement the course material and hone your financial skills. We also encourage our graduates to actively participate in our Wealthwise Online Graduate Community to exchange ideas and seek support.

Wealthwise courses are based on the lessons learned by David Novac over his 30 years in the markets.

Our courses skilfully balance theory with practical application and are packed with practical examples both from a historical perspective but also real life current examples showing stocks which meet our fundamental and/or technical criteria that trigger investment decisions. Students have applied our methods and in so doing have recouped their course tuition and even made consistent returns. Many graduates ‘refresh’ courses to benefit from refocusing on the essentials and knowing how they could be affected by the latest global market activities.

Five things we believe are true
  1. Investing wisely impacts the quality of current & future lifestyles
  2. Sound financial education is essential
  3. Risk awareness and money management are critical
  4. There are appropriate strategies for each market condition
  5. Good education precedes consistent profitable results

Our approach to education and business

Focus on implementing wise principles and the profits will follow

Since we started our financial education service in March 1997, we’ve focused on providing people with a clear, simple, yet wise principles. In addition to wisdom gleaned from our own lessons, we also look to masters like Warren Buffett, George Soros and Sir John Templeton.

It’s best to focus on one thing at a time

We only focus on the stock market. We concentrate on investing and trading via stocks and options.

Provide a superior learning experience

We take great care to ensure that the structure of our courses provides a great learning experience for the participants. That manifests in our small classes so everyone has the opportunity to interact, ask questions and get clarity.

We want to impart the lessons we have learned, so our graduates don’t have to learn the hard way.

Our dedication to improving and keeping courses current means our graduates can be assured they are getting all the important knowledge they need without time-wasting fillers.

Our aim is to share the distilled wisdom gained over many years, so others understand and can control their investments and finances.

'Advanced Options Trading' is an awesome Wealthwise course. Thanks David & Kate for your generosity and patience in teaching me a formidable tool set for trading options.

Tim W – Lawyer – on a formidable tool for options trading

I knew very little about the stock market before attending the 'Invest for Success' course. I found the course excellent for improving my skills and knowledge. It was straight forward and easy to understand. I now have a new view of the stock market and increased confidence to invest in shares.

Teagan R – on improving skills & knowledge

Attending 'Advanced Option Trading' was a great opportunity to learn from option experts. Experts in the field but also great teachers. These two skill sets don't always go together. A unique opportunity - unmissable!

Sue M, Retired Investor on learning from option experts

I got outside my chaotic, noisy head into an organised, systematic and easy to follow Wealthwise methodology. Great for busy people like me. 'Invest for Success' is fantastic to build knowledge & confidence. It has saved me years of working out a lot of things ... a light bulb moment!

Invest for Success’ is the first step towards understanding a company’s financial position in relation to its share price. The skills learnt in the course will allow you to find good value in the market place. Excellent! Understanding the fundamentals of a stock also helps me to better trade the charts.

Will B., Agronomist

Excellent day spent with an expert who can demonstrate how to find value. With this knowledge it is now up to me to do the research, but now with a better understanding on finding value. Today reminded me why this is important knowledge – I want my life back and to be in control!
