• ADVISER NOTES

• Clients are not happy with their current superannuation funds and have had no advice on the investments in their super. They are considering switching super funds and seek advice. Judiths mother has passed away and she will receive her inheritance of $100,000 in the next month.

  The clients plan to stay in their current home, which has recently been renovated. The clients have had some experience investing but have not previously had help with their financial planning. Joe is self-employed and he doesnt receive super from an employer. He does make his own annual $10,000 concessional contribution and wants to know if this is enough.

What is the recommendation would you give to them if you are a financial advisers?? Please state in detail
