    Having someone to help you navigate the complex world of investments can be essential to long term success.

    Investments are a crucial element to most financial plans, however the options available are countless and complex. What may be right for your neighbour may not be right for you.

    We can offer you a range of technical expertise in various financial instruments. We focus largely on helping you understand your choices and pairing you with the most appropriate investment to attain what you want to achieve.

    Part of our process is diving deep into your appetite for risk, learning how you would feel in certain economic situations and and how different outcomes would directly affect your standard of living for the short or long term.

    Once you have an investment portfolio in place, we will review this regularly to ensure it remains on track to meeting its objectives and discuss with you any tweaks that need to occur.

  • Superannuation

    Superannuation

    Superannuation is one of the most tax effective structures that can be used to create wealth for retirement.

    Superannuation can be a tricky maze to navigate with the ever changing rules, myriad of products, and various types. We’ll not only guide you through choosing the right superannuation fund for you, we’ll take a more specific approach – analysing the investment options available, adequacy of capital and taxation opportunities.

    Additionally, we have extensive experience in dealing with Self Managed Superannuation Funds. These structures provide further flexibility for effective retirement planning but involve more complexity and responsibility to manage and maintain. If appropriate, we can help you establish and administer this type of fund on an ongoing basis.

  • Insurance

    Insurance

    A sound financial plan needs to include preparing for things you hope will never happen. You need to know that your family, assets and income stream are protected if the unexpected occurs.

    While getting to know you, we’ll spend time conducting a comprehensive analysis of your needs that can be protected through insurance. Although there are various other types of insurance, the following four types are most commonly appropriate:

    • Life Insurance: financially protects your family in the event of your death
    • Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance: financially protects your family should you become disabled and are no longer able to work
    • Trauma/Critical Illness Insurance: financially protects your family should you experience a serious illness such as heart attack, cancer or stroke
    • Income Protection: provides you with the ability to keep up your financial commitments should you be unable to work for a period of time due to illness or injury

    As part of your analysis we’ll consider what types of insurance you might need, the correct level of cover, the structure of potential policies and which insurance product will best serve you.

  • Loans & Debt

    Ensuring you have the right debt strategy and a loan that works for you can put your dreams within reach.

    Debt doesn’t have to be a bad thing. It can be a handy tool to help kickstart an investment strategy or get you into your first home. We work with you to carefully analyse what your affordability threshold is and determine if debt is the best way to reach your goal. Alternatively, you may need to review your existing debt arrangements.
