Tax planning involves structuring your financial affairs to legally minimise the amount of tax you pay. Good tax planning considers your current position and future financial goals.

How can we help?

Morgans advisers work closely with your accountant to ensure your investment strategy is as tax effective as possible.

Tax planning strategies

• Superannuation contributions – maximising concessional and non-concessional contributions
• Investment structure – holding investments in the most tax effective structure
• Income splitting – distributing income to lower income family members
• Capital gains tax management – timing the realisation of capital gains and losses
• Negative gearing – using investment borrowings to reduce taxable income

Working with your accountant

Tax planning is most effective when your financial adviser and accountant work together. We are happy to work collaboratively with your existing advisers.

Fixed interest investments are loans made to governments or companies that pay a fixed rate of interest for a set period of time. They include bonds, term deposits and debentures.

How can we help?

Fixed interest investments have a place in most portfolios. Our advisers can advise on the right balance for your portfolio.

Fixed interest investment types

Bonds

A bond is a loan to a government or company. The borrower pays interest (a coupon) for a set period of time and repays the face value on maturity.

Term deposits

A term deposit is a cash investment with a bank, credit union or building society for a specific amount of time at a fixed interest rate.

Debentures

A debenture is similar to a bond but is secured against the borrower’s assets rather than by government backing.

Benefits of fixed interest investments

• Regular, predictable income stream
• Capital preservation
• Diversification of investment portfolio
• Lower risk compared to shares

Personal insurance is about protecting yourself and your family against financial hardship if you become ill, are injured or die.

How can we help?

Morgans advisers will review your situation and help you put in place the right level of cover to give you peace of mind.

Types of personal insurance

Life insurance

Provides your dependants with a lump sum or income stream payment in the event of your death or terminal illness diagnosis.

Total and permanent disablement (TPD)

Provides a lump sum payment if you suffer a total and permanent disability that prevents you from working again.

Retirement planning is the accumulation of wealth to provide income and financial security in retirement. Estate planning focuses on wealth preservation and wealth transfer.

How can we help?

With a dedicated technical research team Morgans' advisers are kept up to date with legislation changes.

If you are planning your retirement, just reducing your working hours, or thinking about an estate plan, we can help.

Retirement planning

Good retirement planning is both tax efficient and investment effective. It's never too early to start planning for retirement. It is important to ensure your retirement income is structured to suit your needs and objectives.

Income in retirement

The three main sources of income in retirement are:

• Superannuation – pension income stream and/or lump sum withdrawals
• Non-superannuation assets – returns from shares, property, cash and fixed interest
• Centrelink – age pension benefits

We can help you to structure your retirement income stream to best meet your financial needs.

Estate planning

Estate planning aims to preserve your family’s wealth by distributing it to nominated beneficiaries in the most effective way.

It requires a consideration of each beneficiary’s personal and financial circumstances to determine the best means of providing an inheritance without unfairly affecting the beneficiary’s existing situation.

The first step is ensuring you have a current and valid will. In addition to a will, estate planning may also involve setting up trusts, powers of attorney and advanced health directives.

Our advisers can help ensure your estate is structured to provide financially for your family and loved ones in the event of your death or incapacity.
