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.

You may have seen the headlines about the collapse of the Shield and First Guardian Master Funds. It’s a confronting story, with almost 12,000 Australians affected and over $1.2 billion of retirement savings gone. Many only found out only when a letter arrived saying their super had vanished. It’s the kind of thing that makes all of us stop and check our own arrangements.
You’re retired and you’ve set yourself up well financially. You have no debt, no job to lose, no (or little) taxable income, no kids eating your fridge out and ready access to capital.
