The Red Bear

A throwback to the start of the business by Gary Tupicoff back in 1970, the bear is a symbol of his Russian heritage, in both colour and shape. Our little bear isn’t quite one of Russias dancing bears, but he does go on marvellous adventures.

These days Gary Tupicoff is retired, but his name and his little red bear are alive and well.

Our red bear travels the world with our clients, seeing far off amazing places.

Officially we are the ‘Independent Financial Planners’, unofficially, our Managing Director, Mr Neil Kendall is ‘The Money Worrier’. He is known far and wide for his take on financial planning, “We worry about our clients money, so they don’t have to”. It’s a big job, but one the staff at Tupicoffs are prepared for and proud to do.

Lots of our clients want to travel, and, with us taking care of their money worries, they can.

In return they take our little red bear to the farthest corners of the earth, then they bring us pictures of his adventures. Sometimes he comes home with great stories from across the globe, sometimes he stays in other countries brightening peoples days, and sometimes he undergoes a fashion overhaul and returns in a special outfit from his travels.

Sometimes his trips aren’t on planes to far off countries, sometimes he stays right here in Australia making our clients loved ones smile.

Regardless of how far from home our little red bear goes, he remains a valuable part of the Tupicoffs family.

Here are some of his adventures.
