About Us

In the year 2,000 CEO and founder of Hyland Investments Group, Jeff Kollen, was approached by a marketing group to set up the same comprehensive strategy as Hyland does for their clients today.

The only problem was that the company that serviced Jeff and his wife setting up the strategies, had no scruples or ethics, and they clearly over promised and under delivered on what they were offering. But, despite this, the strategy still worked. It was then that Jeff realized if he provided an above average service, and exceeded people’s expectations, there was a great window of opportunity to meet the need. 

After doing a study on Australian retirement statistics, the size and magnitude of this need became evident to him. 

A simple analysis of the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that more than 90 % of all Australians retire on less than $ 400 per week. This in spite of the fact that more than 60 % of Australian households own their own home. 

With a passion to create awareness among as many people as possible, that thankfully most people ARE in a position to do something about it, he set about putting together a team of professionals to address this need. 

These teams of professionals are ‘handpicked’ individuals and professional companies that are highly proficient in their particular field of expertise.    

All Hyland clients are assured that while dealing with the referred licensed specialists through H.I. Group, that they are all suitably qualified and accredited to assist and guide them through the complexities of planning for their future. 

Professional Expertise

Our professional team lives and works ‘by example’. They have built up an impressive list of satisfied clients.  

They put back into the industry, what the banks have taken out; personalized Service. 

“The structure that you are going to be set up in is the catalyst to “fast track” you from where you are today, to where you want to be tomorrow. With 2,000 mortgage products out in the Australian market place today, how can you be sure that you have the one that best suits your particular circumstances? Are you prepared to take the chance of wasting tens of thousands, more often hundreds of thousands of dollars being in the wrong structure?” 

Many H.I. Group clients have fast tracked their financial position beyond their wildest expectations. From being in a position of ’year after year’ of not being structured correctly and therefore not managing their income wisely, thus wasting countless thousands of dollars in past interest payments and tax, and then by getting on the right path and being disciplined.   

“Ongoing high touch, customer service with monthly budget monitoring is the very thing that our clients need to make new ‘good’ habits for their future success”. 

Marketing Philosophy  

At Hyland we understand that Marketing is an essential function of any business. 

It’s all about encouraging people to exercise their choice by making an investment in return for the use of your services.  It stands to reason then that the best place to start is with those people who have made this choice in the past – your existing clients. 

At Hyland, all of our business comes either from repeat business from existing clients and referrals from them or other licensed professionals. 

We invite you to take advantage of our free consultation and we look forward to the pleasure of meeting with you in the future.

Coming from a premise of “You can’t lead anyone to a place you haven’t been yourself” Jeff Kollen is committed to showing people how everyday Australians don’t have to settle for second best.

Ten years ago Jeff was approached by a company to set up a similar comprehensive strategy that the H.I. Group specialises in today.

While the intention behind the concept was sound, the scruples and ethics of the people left a lot to be desired. Notwithstanding this unfortunate match, the strategy still worked in Jeff’s favour. This was the catalyst that set the course for Jeff’s vision. His vision was to create a team of professionals and referral partners to provide this much needed service to the Australian people.

Jeff’s passion to helping every day Australians achieve the lifestyle of their choice, is demonstrated and clearly evident after only a short while in his presence. His communication style is warm, relaxed, convincing and engaging.

“Our process is simple, structured, informative, easy to understand and always without obligation. We share information, provide options and put our clients in a position where its easy for them to make a decision. Either way, our clients always come through our process better educated and confident, whether they choose to proceed or otherwise.”

Known for his warm approach and engaging personality Tom has spent many years conducting in home consultations, both in Melbourne and South East Queensland.

Having dealt with Tom Moraitis, all of his past clients share the same sentiment: ”if it wasn’t for Tom coming to our home that evening, we can’t imagine where we would be today”

His warm and open approach is simply the sharing of information, highlighting possible areas of concern and the facilitation and co-ordination of financial specialists to address those concerns.

“Our clients are invited to take full advantage of our five step process. They are never obliged to make any commitment to proceed with any recommendations suggested by our professional partners, unless they are 100% satisfied. Our job is not to coerce anyone into any form of commitment beyond their level of confidence.

Our job is to provide them with sufficient information and resources to make a decision of their own choice. When we achieve that, our job is done!”
