Our smart retirement planner

At least 10% of the income you earn during your entire working life goes into superannuation. That’s a lot. Chances are it’s going to be the largest investment asset you have come retirement.

We get it; for many of us, retirement is years, even decades away, so we can probably excuse ourselves if we’ve been focusing on more present issues. But this is your money. It’s important to get this right, and that’s where specialist retirement planning delivers in spades. The type of questions we will ask you include:
Do you have multiple accounts from previous jobs?
Are you in the right fund?
Are you in the right investment option in that fund?
Without the right guidance, it can be hard to know where to start; there are so many options out there. Our team of specialists is here to help you work through these questions and many more.

We formulate superannuation retirement advice and develop a strategy that makes sense for your situation now and into the future. Once the strategy is agreed upon, we provide detailed retirement projections to give you an accurate idea of when you can retire and maintain your desired lifestyle.

Ensuring our clients reach their retirement goals

When you want to retire is up to you. Indeed, many locals do not want to work a day more than they need. However, some clients can’t see themselves ever fully stopping. There’s no right or wrong answer - it all comes down to personal preference.

When you can retire is a question we can assist in answering. Our help with retirement planning ensures that all aspects of your finances work together to achieve that goal.
