I find them shady

I find them shady. I note that there were a glut of reviews about 12 months back (look for yourself) which did not gel with timeframes they were around etc. And they were a sudden burst and nothing prior or post for a matter of months.

I have asked them a few times to remove my details and stop contacting me. They have not abided by those requests. I have just received another call now. Will be reporting them to authorities.

Last interaction I had with them was a "live" webinar - advertised as being "live" which was in fact prerecorded and it contained all sorts of supposed interactive activities and quizzes which were not as presented. Very deceptive behaviour. I added a comment to that effect and the next day the "head of desk" was contacting me to explain. Simply deceptive and I want nothing to do with them. Don't get me wrong I have no issue with prerecorded webinar but I do take exception to being led to believe it was live.

Up to you what you do but I smell a rat.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for your feedback.

We take privacy, communication preferences, and the accuracy of our marketing seriously. While we have no record of you as a paid client, there may be some confusion as to the nature of your dealings with our business. Not with-standing that, we are reviewing the concerns you have raised regarding contact and webinar presentation.

It is not our policy to continue contacting anyone who has asked to be removed from our communications, and if that has occurred, we apologise.

We also acknowledge your comments regarding the webinar format and agree that communications should always be clear and not create the wrong impression.

As this is a public platform, it is not appropriate for us to deal with the specifics here. If you would like this investigated, please contact us at info@baysideam.com.au and we will review the matter promptly.

Bayside are great at navigating the complex landscape of investing . The team are friendly and helpful in helping me achieve my SMSF goals . They provide alternative solutions that I would not have been able to achieve myself, along with education about the products . They have always answered my questions promptly and don’t pressure me into decisions .
I am very happy with Bayside and recommend them highly.

REFERENCE - Matthew Maher and Christopher Colaneri


Matthew Maher and Christopher Colaneri, both of whom have acted as my investment advisors over the past year. Throughout our professional relationship, they have consistently demonstrated a high level of expertise, diligence, integrity in managing and advising on my investment portfolio.
Under their guidance, I have participated in a range of investment opportunities. Out of five major investments, three have delivered strong returns, achieving between five- to twenty-fold growth on the original capital. One investment resulted in a modest loss, while another did not perform as expected and resulted in a total loss. However, as any experienced investor understands, no investment can guarantee a return, if that were the case, one would simply place funds in a fixed bank deposit and earn a predictable 3–5% annually.
Overall, the portfolio structured and advised by Matthew Maher and Christopher Colaneri, has achieved an impressive average return on all capital approximately 25%, which I consider an excellent outcome given the nature of the markets and the risk profile involved. Their ability to identify promising opportunities, provide sound strategic advice, and maintain transparent communication has been invaluable.
I would confidently recommend both advisors to anyone seeking professional, well-informed, and performance-driven investment guidance and purchase.

WarrenW Superfund

I transferred over from a national superfund company after having been with them for 10 years. They had become lazy, not proactive as evidenced by my fund losing money year after year for the past 4 years. Little contact unless I initiated it.
From when I first contacted Bayside Asset Management it was totally different, they showed interest, were contacting me 2-3 times weekly. proposing changes to those assets that were going backwards. Constantly reviewing portfolio and recommending positive changes to improve performance. I have found them very professional, trusting, enthusiastic and the changes they suggested are already making a positive impact to the portfolio.

I would highly recommend Matt and the bayside management team.

I’ve always struggled with where to put my investments and the team explained everything to me in great detail. Always ready to answer questions.

I’ve seen some great returns already, and confident I will continue to do so.

Bayside Asset Management

Despite the current financial uncertainty, I’ve been really impressed with Bayside’s organized and thoughtful approach. They walk you through every step, ask the right questions, and really focus on understanding your goals before talking solutions. It’s not a ‘one size fits all’ pitch, it feels like they genuinely want to build the right plan for each person. Definitely a standout in terms of structure and clarity.
