Superannuation

Individuals may need a lump sum of $545,000 & couples $640,000 to fund a comfortable retirement.*

Retirement seems a long way off when you are busy working, raising a family & juggling busy lives.  But the super you put away & how it's invested during these years will be the bedrock for your future retirement.  These important decisions impact whether you are able to achieve the kind of retirement you would like to enjoy.  We will work with you to understand what your retirement goals will be in the future & build a plan that will help you achieve those goals.

Employers must contribute a percentage of your income (including bonuses, commissions & loadings).  This is known as Super Guarantee & it's the law.

Many of us obtain our superannuation funds when we commence with our employer, and this will often include insurance. We may feel that this super will be enough to fund our retirement & the insurances will provide adequately if something should go wrong.  However, the supply of these superannuation products does not take into account what your goals and needs are from a retirement and insurance perspective (unless you have obtained them through a financial planning process).  We can help you understand whether your current superannuation & insurance is appropriate for you and if not, we can follow a financial planning pathway to recommend the appropriate products & strategies for you.

Click here to visit our Retirement Planning page.  This page provides greater detail about what you will need to consider in order to adequately fund your retirement.

We can provide advice on:

  • Industry Funds
  • Retail Funds
  • SMSF's (Self-Managed Superannuation Funds)

Things to consider:

  • What to look for in a super fund to help you save for your retirement
  • What to do with the various super funds you may have (they may include insurance) and have low balances
  • Whether you can you access your super fund monies and continue working
  • What your insurances are really covering you for
  • Whether you should reduce your home loan or put more into super
  • You may have a SMSF (self managed super fund) & are unsure whether it meets your needs
  • Whether there are better investment options available
