Superannuation can be confusing, both to individuals who are hoping to meet their personal retirement goals and to business owners planning a corporate super plan. We offer services to both of these groups, helping both employers and employees to thrive.
In order to best meet your long-term goals, we examine your unique situation, including how long you have until retirement, how you can maximise tax benefits and how averse to risk you are. We then use this information to create a clear strategy that will help you to live the lifestyle you deserve in retirement.
A Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) gives you more control over your super and retirement planning, and this can lead to better management of your taxes, cash flow and risk. It’s important to understand, however, that there are running costs to consider as well as penalties for non-compliance. We can help you to review your finances and your long-term goals so you can make an informed decision about whether a SMSF is an appropriate and beneficial investment strategy for you.
The sooner you start planning for retirement, the more options you’ll have at your disposal. Our expertise in personal superannuation includes specialist knowledge of wealth management, and Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs). Discuss your personal superannuation with one of our wealth advisers to land on the perfect super strategy for your unique situation.
