In most cases superannuation is the most important asset being built over the years. Serhan will check the suitability of your current superannuation fund (for non defined benefit accumulation funds) including its fee structure, investment performance and philosophy, to ensure that it is appropriate for your needs.
If you have a SMSF we will investigate if it remains suitable.
Serhan will also ensure that you are optimizing your Defined Benefit fund.
Serhan, our principal advisor, will take time to understand where you are now, where you want to go, then will work with you to prioritize and achieve your requirements.
One of the most important principles of investment is to ensure that you have a diversified portfolio and that you have not put all your eggs in one basket.
We will look to obtain your tolerance levels and organize your asset allocation to reflect what is right for you.
Cash flow plays a critical role in helping you to get where you want to go. Your future goals heavily rely on how you manage your complete cash flow position. Serhan can help you identify any opportunities needed to set you up for success.
Are you doing all that you need to do to retire comfortably? Planning for the future is important as we all want to maintain our current standard of living, if not better it.
Serhan will provide retirement modelling services designed to identify if you are on track or if not, identify the gaps, and what can be done to close the gaps before it is too late.
She will demonstrate how long your money will last. This can be a very effective tool to motivate you.
A big part of wealth creation is wealth protection. If something were to happen, are you and family protected?
Serhan will analyse your needs and recommend a tailored package of life insurance outside or inside of your superannuation, depending on your personal circumstances.
Benjamin Franklin once said "in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes".
Which is why estate planning is so important. Making arrangements for the ongoing care of your family and your assets in the event of death or disability should not be something you want to leave it to chance.
Serhan will work with you and your lawyers to ensure that you have up to date wills, power of attorneys and that you have nominated the right beneficiaries of your superannuation benefits.
Redundancy, whether voluntary or involuntary, can have a major impact on your finances. You might be asked to make decisions in a short period of time.
