FAQ’s

Since every Statement of Advice is unique to the client, we don’t charge one fixed fee.  Our SOA fee starts at $2,950 for simple advice, and increases from there depending on the complexity of your situation and the areas of advice you’d like us to cover.

We’ll calculate the fee and check you’re happy to proceed before providing any advice.

If your advice includes a product recommendation (such as superannuation or pensions) we may be able to deduct the SOA fee from your account. Otherwise, we can provide an invoice when we present your SOA.

Latest insights

Australia’s superannuation system has achieved significant growth, with assets increasing from $150 billion in 1992 to over $4 trillion today, and projections estimating it could reach $9 trillion by 2040. This growth has positioned the system as one of the largest pension pools globally. Over the past 20 years, regulatory efforts have encouraged consolidation, reducing the number of funds by 93%. This has led to the emergence of large-scale funds that now dominate the sector, controlling over half of its assets.
