Are you starting over?

For those of you working in the resources industry, you would no doubt understand the potential downside is the punishing rosters and long periods away from home that can take a toll on family and personal life. Sure, the money is good for the most part, but it comes at a cost.

Unfortunately, some marriages suffer irreparably and many find themselves having to “start over” after relationship breakdown or divorce.

It can be an extremely difficult time and apart from the emotional strain, there’s the stress of having to rebuild financially. You may find yourself in a situation where you’re left with minimal assets and essentially must start over.

In this situation, it’s critical to make sure you have your superannuation structured and invested correctly.

If you’ve come through a divorce with your superannuation intact, it may end up being your biggest asset.

You really need to get it working for you and you need to make sure your income is adequately insured.

If you’re starting over, the income you’ll earn between now and retirement is extremely important in helping you to build an asset base to fund you in your later years.

Times are tough. How can you position yourself to minimise the impact?

The last few weeks have been extraordinary to say the least. We’re battling a world wide health crisis and we face uncertainty in many aspects of our lives. It’s true that there are simply some things beyond our control and we will more than likely see many changes to our everyday lives for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. So, what can be done? On the other side of this, many people will be left with dramatic financial stress, whether it be periods of unemployment, depleted cash reserves or battered superannuation balances. And for many, timing will be an issue. Those who were weeks ago contemplating retirement may now need to change their plans. And those that are still accumulating for retirement have more than likely just seen their investments and superannuation return to levels of 5 or 6 years ago. Essentially the clock has be wound back in one way or another. It may well be a good time to take stock and lay some foundations for when thing...

Does one size fit all when it comes to Superannuation?

Super Choice – how can employers help their employees? Since 1 July 2005, most employers have been required to give their employees a choice of fund for their superannuation guarantee contributions. It is only if the employee fails to choose, or chooses a fund which cannot be used by the employer, that the employer will be able to choose the fund. Prior to this, employees essentially didn’t have a choice and they were basically stuck with the fund their employer chose for them. In the past decade since “Super Choice” was introduced, there has been a great deal of competition in the superannuation market given that employees can choose where to put their money. A competitive market is good for consumers with an almost limitless choice of highly developed options for employees to choose from. So, what does this mean for employers?
