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 inappropriate fund selection, doubling up on insurances and not to mention simply keeping track of them all.

Part of any super review process should include possible consolidation of funds into one appropriately invested, cost effective fund.

What if Dad becomes sick or sustains an injury that translates to time off work? What happens financially for Dad and the family then? These are things that should be considered in an insurance review.

So apart from a terrific Entertainment Book gift this Father’s Day, plant the seed with Dad to maybe have a review of his super and insurances?

Be informed. Be curious. Be ready for the future you.

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? Well, in the early stages of this change it was essentially an administrative burden as large companies with large numbers of staff were faced with p...
