Investment Philosophy
Our investment aim is simple, to provide an outcome that ensures you are happy, safe and secure whilst you accumulate wealth, enjoy it in retirement and then plan to create wealth transition. How to get there is complex in this ever-evolving world of unknowns. Partnering with a financial advisor who knows your personal, business and tax affairs is critical.
We accept that all clients see their retirement aspirations differently – some are happy to work longer and accumulate more, whilst others plan retirement earlier. Whatever your plans, we look to provide a realistic solution that meets your personal goals and objectives. We believe all families deserve the lifestyle they desire and the future they wish for; the way we can help you achieve this is by improving and monitoring your financial circumstances now and into future. Whether you have your own business or are in the workforce, we specialize in helping your family reach financial freedom.
We work with people all over Australia to ensure they are protected against life’s events. Whether that is by protecting your income, so that in the event you were unable to work you would still be able to receive your current income, or ensuring your family is protected financially, due to an unfortunate event such as your passing. Most importantly, we work with you to achieve your personal goals.
It is important that all clients have ready access to cash flow to fund lifestyle, but this is generally supported with growth like assets to ensure that your retirement nest egg matches, if not exceeds inflation over time.
It is important to develop a holistic approach to wealth accumulation and as your trusted accountant, we can provide:
- Taxation and Asset Protection reviews;
- Superannuation advice on all structures to help you meet your personal super needs;
- Investment advice and proactive investment management across all structures including Personal, Company, Trust and NFPs;
- Access to unique and highly specialised investment offers catering to wholesale investors and high net wealth individuals
- Retirement and succession planning;
- Insurance support including life, TPD, income protection and key man insurance reviews
- Estate planning support including reviews of wills, power of attorney and BDBN forms;
Investment Life Cycle
We all appreciate the need to understand your financial position as it stands today, the future bumps and challenges as we head down the road to retirement and then how best to accumulate and enjoy your wealth. We understand that young families are burdened with debt, periods of single income support and schooling commitments before they focus on nest egg commitments. Unfortunately, retirement planning can be overlooked until well into mid life and the uphill challenge to accumulate sufficient wealth to enjoy an earlyish retirement becomes a challenge.
We passionately believe that with some consideration to a holistic financial plan, from 40 onwards, provides the catalyst for retirement planning. We often hear ill-informed comments associated with superannuation and how it is such a disincentive to invest in super as you do not have access to it for many, many years. This might be true; however, superannuation should not only be seen as a compulsory form of savings, but rather as the most tax effective form of investment accumulation and addressed at the appropriate time. We encourage all clients to keep an open mind about the financial benefits of accumulating wealth through superannuation, earlier in life.
