Who's Going to get your Super if You Die?

As some of you may know I recently got married to my lovely wife Katie. Well she’s been running around the city this week changing her name at the bank, Medicare, DTED, Electoral Office and what not. She’s also had to change her name with her superannuation fund. This prompted me into the realisation that we’d have to look at our beneficiary nominations. Being newly weds it is only natural that’d we’d now elect each other as beneficiaries in case the worst were to happen. Would it surprise you if I told you I have come across clients with ex girlfriends, ex husbands, deceased siblings and estranged high school friends as their beneficiaries?

My question to you today is; who’s going to get your super if you die?

Superannuation Revisited

In the past couple of months I have been met with much criticism and confusion about my zealous love for superannuation. To explain: First of all, I work in the superannuation industry and know the laws and strategies inside and out. Second, I have done some in depth analysis and made some startling realisations which have swayed my own investment decisions.

Guaranteed 16.5% return on investment

What if I told you that I had an investment idea that guaranteed a 16.5% return on investment? Even better, this same investment is tax free when you sell it! You'd probably be asking, what's the catch, right? The catch is; you need to be earning over $37,000 per annum have to wait until your 65 to cash in your investment. That's all.

Health Insurance and Super

Private Health Insurance like all insurance is riddled with clauses and conditions, premiums and extras so its essentially impossible to compare two policies to one another; as such it is very difficult to know what policy is right for your needs and budget.
