Has Your Super Fund Done This?

















Growth, growth and more growth is what we are about at Hindsight Wealth. If your super performance doesn't quite look like the graph above, perhaps it's time to do something about it?
The last 12 months really should serve as an excellent test for your super fund.
Investment markets around the world continue to perform strongly. 2017 is continuing to be a very positive year for domestic and international investment markets, and this should have translated to strong returns on your super fund.
You should consider structuring your super fund to take advantage of this by investing in a personalised portfolio that is appropriate to your investor profile with your funds spread across all the different asset classes. 
At the time of writing, the local All Ordinaries Index (a measure of the broader Australian stock market) is sitting just over 6100 points. An increase of some 14% from its level 12 months ago. 
Whilst markets have been performing strongly, the All Ordinaries is still well below its pre-GFC high of 6873 points in November 2007. 
In addition to capital growth, the last 12 months has since strong dividend yields which has provided a strong boost to the unit holdings within our super funds.  
Consider this. Our local market has to go up by at least another 13% to get back to where it was almost exactly 10 years ago. 
On top of that, it has to make up for the gains that it should have made over that 10 year period. 
Don’t miss out on the current opportunity simply because you’ve put your superannuation in the “too hard basket”.
We have a “click and flick” service whereby you can just take a photo or scan your latest super statement and send it through to me for a general review.
We also have an “Uber chat and ride” service for those of you in the CBD. I’ll cover your Uber ride to and from my office during the day if you want to catch up for a coffee.  I can’t make it any easier than that.
Don’t leave it until it’s too late. By consolidating your super now and investing it appropriately, you’ll be making a big difference to your future retirement outcome.

What will 19 hold for you?

Most of us are starting to think about getting back into work mode – or perhaps you are back at work already.
Don’t worry, this is not going to be one of those “let’s look back over the last 12 months” chats where we remember which celebrities are no longer or who won major sporting events.
What should you expect from the next 12 months? Well, nobody knows.  However, there is one certainty.  Markets will go up and markets will go down.  
Consider this.  The Australian equities market is still approximately 18% below where it was 11 years ago so there’s plenty of upside just to get back to where it was.  In terms of your superannuation, you need to consider your time horizon, i.e. how long will it be invested for before you can access it.
For a 35-year-old, they face another 30 years before they can access their super at age 65. Not only that, once they do retire at 65, they’re not going to take their super and spend it in one go.   They’re going to use it to produce an income in retiremen…

When Socks and Jocks don’t cut it anymore.

We have a solution to avoid the old favourites: socks and jocks this Father’s Day.  As this weekend is Father’s Day, the focus should be on Dad.  You can purchase the actual book or the digital copy so Dad can access year - round savings from his smart phone.  Part proceeds from your purchase, also helps a local Brisbane charity: Be Uplifted Inc Breast Cancer Charity – so everyone wins! Click here to purchase Dad his Entertainment Book subscription. Another gift you could give Dad is encouragement. To encourage Dad to have a conversation with a financial adviser about his super and insurances. Why? Maybe Dad has started a new job or had a promotion. Maybe Dad is nearing retirement? When our lifestyle changes or work situation changes, it affects your super + insurances. Reviewing these regularly will make sure Dad stays on track. Perhaps you know Dad has a few super funds hanging out there from previous jobs. This can affect a few things – especially Dad’s back pocket and can include inap…

Before you get excited (or not), I don't offer Pet Insurance, however I have received many questions about it.  So I thought I would offer some thoughts to consider for your independent pet insurance research.
Australians are a nation of animal lovers.  According to the Australian Companion Animal Council, we have one of the highest incidences of pet - ownership in the world!
Dogs and cats are our favourites; around 36% of Australian households own a dog, and 23% own a cat.  We're familiar with the companionship pets bring, and the social interaction they foster, but there are other benefits too:
Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol;Increased physical activity;Strengthened immune system and reduced incidence of allergies andChildren learn responsibility, empathy and respect.
When considering a pet, you expect costs like food, bedding, the annual vet visit and so forth, but there are other costs you may not have thought about.

Let's start at the beginning.  Those purchasi…
