HIDDEN COSTS
Life is busy, and time seems to flow by quicker every year. Individuals often overlook the importance of their super as a wealth creation asset, because it is not immediately accessible and can seem somewhat complex.
Most younger workers are uninterested in the management of their super, failing to realise the compounding dollar value cost that arises from missed opportunities.
To achieve goals, you must take appropriate strategic action.
For optimal super outcomes, you must set goals, regularly review your strategy, and make tactical adjustments aligned with current circumstances and market conditions.
BEST PRACTICE
Since its initial introduction, the government and regulators have regularly introduced initiatives, supposedly to ensure that super is better managed and possibly optimised.
However, to date, best practice guidelines for individuals to establish long-term goals and short-term milestones and then manage their super accordingly are interestingly absent from any discussion.
The consequences of dismissing your super early in your career can be costly.
SUPER ADVICE
If finance is not your strong suit, it pays to seek high-quality yet affordable super advice to help you make informed decisions. SuperWiser is a client portal that does just that.
The first step to review your super is free. Upon your authorisation, SuperWiser communicates directly with your super fund to obtain relevant details and then calculates your baseline Projected Income in Retirement (in today’s dollars) based on your current approach. It also suggests if it can improve.
You then go through an initial process to help you establish long-term goals and objectives and implement product, contribution, and investment strategy advice recommendations. You also receive short-term milestones, which allow you to measure your progress.
After completing the initial advice process, SuperWiser will notify you when tactical updates are recommended based on market dynamics, regulation, and product changes.
There is significant confusion among consumers and within industry, media, and government regarding the definitions and roles of financial planners/advisers who provide personal advice and those who simply sell financial products.
SuperWiser is an online financial adviser application that provides personal advice to help you optimise your super consistent with your circumstances. It does not sell financial products.
