Your financial future
It's never too early, or too late for a financial plan
Start planning for your financial future today. Financial planners are a resource to help you achieve fiscal success for the long term.
Everyone has different financial resources, lifestyle needs and personal aspirations, so the right kind of advice can really make a big difference
You can work together with your planner to determine your individual needs and goals for the short, medium and long term. Through goal-setting, you and your planner can construct a ‘road map’ of where you’re heading in life and all the stops you want to take along the way.
What’s in a financial plan?
What to expect in your plan
Financial planning can help you identify, and plan to achieve, your financial goals so you can enjoy the lifestyle you want and can include:
- budgeting
- tax planning
- investments
- aged care planning
- estate planning
- superannuation
- life and risk insurance
- Government benefits you may be eligible for.
A good financial plan will help you assess your current circumstances, identify your goals and priorities, and will recommend financial strategies and products to make these dreams come true.
Plan for the best but prepare for the worst
Planning can help prepare you financially for the worst circumstances, the unfortunate side effects of life and the inevitable costs – and even help you grow your wealth in the face of all this adversity.
Better safe than sorry
Unexpected illness, injury or redundancy, can quickly and dramatically change your financial circumstances and derail your financial plans and those of your family. Part of any good financial plan is ensuring measures are in place to protect your wealth if something unexpected should happen so you can be better prepared to support yourself and those depending on you.
Tax tips
Getting the most from your investments may involve getting clever with your tax strategies. Income splitting, salary sacrificing to superannuation or tax effective investments could become part of your financial plan to boost your return come June 30 each year, and could make a big long term difference.
Debt is not a dirty word
Debt is not all bad, all the time. A good financial plan can help you deal with debt so you get the greatest return and may include strategies like debt consolidation or increasing the frequency of your mortgage payments.
Financial planning for the future
All in the family
As your family circumstances change, your financial plan should change too.
The arrival of a new family member, children leaving the family home, illness or injury may prompt a review of your financial plan.
Get ready for retirement
The savings you will need to fund your retirement should be part of your financial plan as well as strategies that will deliver the income you need along the way.
Financial planners can give advice on superannuation strategies, any applicable government pensions you may be eligible for and plannng to move into aged care.
