Our advice to you

In providing this advice, HWP has taken into account your relevant Personal Circumstances and at least one of the financial products listed below: 


 Securities (e.g. ASX listed equities and property trusts, fixed income securities, convertible notes);  Deposit and payment products – basic deposit products (e.g. Cash in a bank or cash management account).  Managed investment schemes  Insurances  Superannuation 
Following our evaluation of your personal circumstances, and your Growth profile, we advise: 
 That you are suitable for investing your superannuation (approximately $34,880) in the following IndexInvest strategies. o IndexInvest Dynamic Growth 70% o IndexInvest Growth Satellite 30% 
The basis of our advice is our belief that the strategy components detailed above provide you with a superior outcome over time than you not having received our advice 
We recommend you read the Superannuation Account Product Disclosure Statement (‘PDS’) and Reference Guide which can be accessed at powerwrap.com.au/resources.  Additionally, we recommend that you review the attached - Investment Education Guide and IndexInvest Capability Statements. 

Product Replacement

 
Product/Underwriter All current funds
To be replaced with: SmartWRAP
Exit Fees There are no exit fees from your current superfunds
Reasons for Replacement

You will build wealth in a tax effective manner. The future investment earnings on the amount contributed will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15% (10% on capital gains). If these funds were invested outside of superannuation, these same earnings may be taxed at your marginal tax rate (including the Medicare Levy) if owned by you personally. 

Best Interest  
Differences in Benefits - LOSSES

Death And TPD - Benefit of Guaranteed Future Insurability is lost.

 

Salary Continuance - The ability to retain cover for Income Protection without evidence of health by transferring benefit to another division of provider will be lost.

Alternative Strategy

We investigated leaving your existing funds in place and consolidating your funds in your primary superfunds, however these strategies would not meet the goals we discussed. We also reviewed other alternatives to Netwealth, however they were more expensive without extra features.

Investments

To invest in-line with your risk profile and to help you achieve your needs and objectives I recommend using a mix of Exchange Traded Funds to create a portfolio:

Outcomes and Advantages

Netwealth offers one or more of the following relevant features and benefits which are not available in your current fund: Access to a range of investments such as ETFs and Managed funds, better transparency to see your balance, returns and the individual investments. Netwealth also allows us to tailor your investments specifically to your risk profile.

 

Netwealth allows you to see individual costs as they are taken from the account. Other providers build their costs into the balance of your account making it difficult to determine the effective total costs.

 

Exchange Traded Funds allow access to a wide range of both local and international exchanges. Exchange Traded Funds have lower fees than typical managed funds. Using Exchange Traded Funds will help you achieve your objective of increasing your current return.

Risks and Disadvantages

This recommendation may require trade-offs as all strategies contain both advantages and disadvantages. The important potential risks and disadvantages that may arise from this recommendation include:

  • Rolling over superannuation from one superannuation fund to another may incur management expenses and costs, including a taxation liability arising from the sale of the underlying investments represented in your superannuation account. You current superfund(s) may  also charge you an exit fee of between $45 and $90. 

  • When rolling over your existing superannuation you will generally lose entitlement to existing insurance coverage in that fund. Replacement insurance through your new superannuation fund may be more costly or even unobtainable, depending on the level of cover required, your age, and current state of health. Existing insurance arrangements should not be cancelled until such time as replacement insurance has been confirmed.

  • Where investments held in your current superannuation fund are sold prior to rolling over your benefit to another superannuation fund, a rising investment market may result in less investments being purchased within your replacement superannuation fund.

  • If you have made superannuation contributions to your current superannuation fund, and intend to claim a personal tax deduction for all or part of those contributions, it is imperative that you provide your current superannuation fund with a “notice of intention to claim a tax deduction” (as required under section 290-170 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997) and that the notice be acknowledged before you roll your current superannuation over to the proposed fund. Failure to lodge this notice will result in the loss of a tax deduction.

  • All forms of investing involve risk. These investments are the same. There is no guarantee of a return, nor that the Exchange Traded Funds will meet your return objective.

  • A partial rollover has been recommended to maintain your insurance as your current insurance has not been reviewed. This means at this time your superannuation will not be completely consolidated into one fund.

Why my Advice is Appropriate

The above advice is to help you achieve your superannuation goals and outcomes.

 

Consolidating your superannuation into 1 fund will achieve your goal of having 1 superfund. It also reduces annual fees but also allows for better tracking of your superfund.

 

Managed Funds also generally have higher fees than Exchange Traded Funds which erode your returns. Your superannuation is also a long term investment. As such, we have recommended Exchange Traded Funds which track or mirror the exchanges. Exchange Traded Funds are used to allow access to a range of exchanges both locally and internationally. This provides significant diversification advantages, high access to your funds (no waiting periods to withdraw) and have very low overall management fees. We believe that these investments will help you achieve your goal of increasing your superfund performance. 

 

A key requirement was ease of access and transparency. Netwealth provides 24/7 access both online and via a phone app to your superfund. This gives you direct access to view not only your superfund balance, but also the investments and the individual returns for these investments.

 

You are also currently invested in investments different to your current risk profile being a investor. This advice will invest you in line with your current investment profile.

 

Netwealth has a broad range of investments which allows your superfund to be highly tailored to your current circumstances. It also allows for changes and updates should your circumstances change or based on market conditions.

 

I embrace the concept of Best Interests Duty and give priority to your interests ahead of my own. My commitment is to act in the best interests of you my client and to act honestly, professionally, fairly and objectively in the provision of financial services. The processes I follow demonstrate the priority I give to your interests ahead of my own. This document also forms part of the process of meeting my obligations under the Best Interests Duty. So that I can provide you with appropriate advice it is important that the information your provide is correct and current. 

Following the advice should put you in a better position than your current position as:

  • You now have a financial advisor monitoring your portfolio as well providing you with ongoing financial advice such as transition to retirement, making extra contributions, salaray sacrifice.
  • Your superannuation is invested according to your risk profile.
  • You can now easily view, manage and track your superfund going forward.

As you mentined above, and using your words you said . The strategies outlined achieve this.
