Tax Optimisation

Limited time investment opportunity - take advantage before 30 June!

Current market conditions has created a compelling, limited opportunity that you can take advantage of before 30 June.

Tailor a low volatility portfolio using 100 per cent financing, and take advantage of the current combination of high dividend yields and low interest rates.

In this environment you can create an investment portfolio with potentially very low post-tax servicing costs, with limited recourse protection on the downside and unlimited participation in the upside performance of the underlying shares.

Current pricing: compelling breakevens

To illustrate current opportunities,workings of a five year cashflow including allocations to Westpac, Telstra, NAB and the MSI Cash Trust.

  • Portfolio interest rate of 8.47% pa (fixed for one year) versus a RBA deductible benchmark of 8.05% pa
  • Potentially very low post-tax servicing costs over the five year term after factoring in interest deductibility, distributions and franking credits received from the portfolio
  • Estimated average post-tax servicing cost of $981 per annum on a $200,000 GEI loan amount, based on starting assumptions
  • Therefore stocks only have to appreciate by 1.45% pa to breakeven
  • To look at this another way, if you invested in this GEI plus portfolio on 5 June 2012, and WBC, TLS and NAB returned to their closing share prices as at 30 April 2012, over the five year GEI term the investor would make a profit. And this is a scenario which includes one of those stocks, TLS, actually falling in value
  • No cap to the investor's upside.

Key features - take advantage before 30 June

  • Blend new unlisted managed funds into the portfolio to:
    • enhance portfolio diversification and asset allocation
    • lower portfolio interest rates
    • reduce portfolio volatility
  • Tax certainty of an ATO Product Ruling - PR 2011/53
  • Deductible interest costs up to the RBA benchmark rate (currently 8.05% pa)
  • Fix and pre-pay interest before 30 June (interest loan available)
  • Uncapped direct share ownership: access current improved dividend yields, benefit from franking credits4
  • access uncapped capital growth potential
  • Borrow 100 per cent of the initial investment amount
  • 100 per cent capital protection throughout the term5
  • No margin calls
Please contact me on 1300 132 214 or by email to find out more about this offer.

Are you Positioned To Take Advantage of Market Changes?

The last 4 years have been difficult for investors the question is how do we go forward?

Quite simply we can lick our wounds and crawl in the corner or we can get on with “moving forward” (copyright Julia).

If we choose the later than the question then becomes how?

At the moment for patient and astute investors there is a plethora of opportunity in the markets as the world struggles to grasp the current economic issues. As the markets sell off has been considerable this means that a lot of this “bad” news is already factored into the share price.

However, as an investor you have some doubts on how you can benefit. Where am I going to get the money from and am I taking on too much risk? If you decide that you would like to have a go then we can build a strategy around some very good products to manage the later. Importantly, all we need to participate is some free cash flow every month.

Please refer to our website for further information and please hurry as this opportunity will close shortly.

If the world financial markets are turning are you positioned to benefit?

How to Pay Off Your Mortgage

The most common mistake I see as a financial planner is the strategy that people employ to reduce the mortgage on their house. It is natural to want to live in a house that you own and be debt free. After all once you repay the debt you don’t have any more monthly loan repayments.

However, the most common way that people go about this is to try and pay back the debt as quickly as possible from their wages. This is unfortunately the hardest way to go about doing this given the nature of how our tax structure works.

Lets also take a look at your monthly budget. Your loan repayments, be they principal or interest are only a small part of your expenditure requirements. The rest is made up of food, clothing, ever increasing electricity bills, running cars and all of other our activities that we need or enjoy.

This being the case the notion of financial security depends on 2 things; being able to own your house debt free but also being able to have enough passive income to cover your living requirements. Therefore, if we are focusing purely on the paying off your house debt then we are only addressing part of the problem. This is why I see people who think they are ready to retire and they proclaim "we own our house” only to be bitterly disappointed when they realise they cannot afford to stop working as they still need to earn an income to fund their lifestyle.

What is required

You need to come up with a holistic strategy that will encompass all of your goals that you need to achieve. With the help of our expertise in taxation and finance we can then help you design a strategy that will achieve all of these goals in the quickest possible fashion. This is really a case of working smarter not harder, don’t struggle on the steps for 30 years when we can take an elevator and dramatically reduce the time but also improve the outcome.
