About Us

Genuine Private Trading is a private, invitation-only share trading collective for friends, acquaintances, and trusted connections across New Zealand and internationally.

We share experiences and high-level perspectives within a closed circle—always with the understanding that each member makes their own trading decisions. We are not registered with the FMA and do not provide financial advice.

Meet the founder

Auckland, New Zealand

Francis founded Genuine Private Trading after years of informal discussions among friends and acquaintances who shared experiences in the share market. What began as a trusted circle has grown into a structured private collective focused on transparency, mutual support, and responsible participation.

Francis coordinates the weekly Capsule research, member communications, and collective operations. He is not a licensed financial adviser and does not provide regulated financial advice. GPT is a private network for people who know one another—not a public fund or signal service.

Our Story

Genuine Private Trading (GPT) began as informal conversations among a small group of friends and acquaintances who shared experiences in the share market. What started as casual discussions has grown into a trusted private collective focused on mutual support and responsible participation.

Our Philosophy

We believe in serving ourselves and others through shared knowledge, ethical practices, and long-term growth. Our approach is built on trust, transparency, and genuine community — not on promises of quick riches.

The Motto

Sibi Aliisque in Deo Servire — To serve oneself and others in God. This Latin motto reflects our commitment to growing together while serving one another with integrity.

Our Commitment

We operate as a private, invitation-only group for friends and trusted connections only. We are not registered with the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) and do not provide financial advice. All members make their own independent investment decisions.

Our Future

As we continue to grow, we are building relationships with accredited professionals to ensure we meet all relevant regulatory standards in New Zealand.

Sibi Aliisque in Deo Servire

To Serve Oneself and Others in God
