What Can A Financial Adviser Do For You

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Who is the best person to talk to about retirement?

Do I need a professional retirement planner Australia?

Finance professionals can help you navigate the intricacies of retirement planning in the, including superannuation, Centrelink benefits, and tax implications. 

They can create tailored strategies for your unique goals and circumstances, and provide ongoing support to ensure you're on track for a comfortable and secure retirement. 

With a planner, you can make informed decisions, potentially maximise your retirement savings and income, and provide peace of mind throughout the process.

How much do I need to pay a retirement planner?

The cost of working with a retirement planner can vary depending on the professional's fee structure, your location, the complexity of your financial situation, and the scope of services you require. Some planners may charge an hourly rate, while others may charge a fixed fee for a comprehensive financial plan or a percentage-based fee on the assets they manage for you.

Initial consultation fees can range from being complementary to several hundred dollars. Comprehensive financial plans may cost anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000 or more, depending on the complexity. For ongoing services, fees could be a percentage of your assets under management, typically ranging from 0.5% to 2% per year, or a fixed annual retainer.

It's essential to discuss the planner's fee structure during the initial consultation and ensure you understand the costs involved before proceeding with their services. Keep in mind that the value of professional advice and planning should be considered in the context of the potential long-term benefits for your retirement savings and financial security.

Do I need a retirement advisor?

In Australia, you can access some free or low-cost resources and services for retirement advice, but these options may not provide the same level of personalised guidance and expertise as a professional retirement planner. Here are a few options for obtaining free or low-cost retirement advice:

  • The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) offers free financial guidance through its MoneySmart website (www.moneysmart.gov.au), which provides information on various financial topics, including retirement planning, superannuation, and investing.
  • Some superannuation funds offer free general advice to their members regarding retirement planning and investment options within the fund. However, this advice may be limited in scope and may not cover your entire financial situation.
  • Financial Information Service (FIS) officers, provided by Services Australia, offer free financial information and education to help you make informed decisions about your retirement, including understanding your pension options and managing your investments. While they do not provide personalised financial advice, they can help you understand the basics of retirement planning.
  • Community-based financial counselling services can provide free and confidential financial counselling, budgeting assistance, and advocacy, but their focus may not be solely on retirement planning.

While these resources and services can be helpful, working with a professional retirement planner may be more beneficial if you require a comprehensive and tailored retirement plan that addresses your specific needs, goals, and circumstances.
