Cybersecurity and Scammers

I recently gave a speech to the Unley Rotary Club on Cybersecurity and awareness of financial scams; the audience had some fantastic follow up questions and many more than I expected. The interesting outcome for me from that presentation was the audience’s sheer diversity of understanding of what scams exist, how they affect people and what someone can do to avoid those risks. Some were genuinely shocked, others apathetic; It won’t happen to me, I’m not affected as I don’t use Facebook, what can I really do to stop it…?

It’s good news week

It feels like the investment world has been listening to the Hedgehoppers Anonymous 1965 song lately; where good news is bad and vice versa. One can be forgiven for having to ponder why investment markets have moved in unexpected directions this year. I’ve seen equities rise on news that we’re going into a recession and defensive investments being sold off because a recession isn’t happening quickly enough. Isn’t a recession bad?

Craig Kirkwood

The recent Federal Budget has brought discretionary (family) trusts firmly back into the spotlight, with proposed changes that could reshape how these structures are used over the coming years. At the centre of the announcement is a proposal to introduce a minimum 30% tax on discretionary trust income, expected to apply from 1 July 2028.

Financial strategies at 55, 60 and 65 — why timing changes everything

Momir Vuksa

“I wish I’d known all this earlier.” It’s a phrase I regularly hear after presenting a financial plan to new clients. It’s rarely ‘too late’ but proactive planning for the future is often the biggest advantage you can harness.
