Information on this webpage has been prepared on a general advice basis only. The advice has been prepared without taking account of your specific objectives, financial situation or needs. Accordingly, you should, before acting on the advice, consider the appropriateness of the advice having regard to your objectives, financial situation and needs. In cases where the advice relates to the acquisition, or possible acquisition, of a particular financial product, you should obtain a Product Disclosure Statement (or other relevant information statement) and consider such document before you make any decision about whether or not to acquire the product. Self-managed superannuation funds are not cost competitive for lower balance accounts and are not appropriate for all investors due to the time, cost and responsibility involved in managing an SMSF. For these reasons, it is imperative that you seek advice from your financial adviser before making any investment decisions.

What really matters?
/in Business & Corporate Advice, Wealth Management /by Kurtis AlexanderXerocon2018 brought us several sessions that asked us to think about the way we think. They were an excellent, and timely, reminder for me of what’s important in my life.
With a young family, I’ve found myself at one of those times in life when it’s valuable to pause a moment. To check that you understand your priorities. Because they change over time.
