Financial Planning and your Lifestyle

To many of us, the thought of visiting a financial planner might be a bit daunting – discussing in depth our financial situation and then working with the planner to develop a financial plan. Perhaps, you aren’t exactly sure what your financial goals are! “I’m not wealthy, therefore a planner won’t be able to help or won’t want to help me” is another popular misconception. Unfortunately, many people believe that financial planning only focuses on how to invest money. In reality, this is just one of the many areas that your financial planner can assist you with.



In these times of uncertainty and confusion you must constantly review your financial strategies and make sure they reflect your current concerns and future goals.  Keeping to your strategy where future goals have been set is the discipline that most should follow. Markets as we have seen in the past will fluctuate whether it is positive or negative. The key in these circumstances is the "time in the market and not timing the market" which eventually sees us return to more rewarding times.

If you don't have a financial planner, odds are that you will turn to family or friends for a recommendation regarding your financial questions and concerns. That's a fine place to start. But just because your friends may know a bit about finance or they may use a certain planner, may not mean that is right for you. Each person is unique and each situation is different. However if you spend a few minutes looking over the following list of questions, you should have a pretty good idea if you should consider using a financial planner.

Take this short quiz and find out if a financial planner is right for you:

   Would you like to be more in control of your financial life?
   Are you frustrated by all the conflicting financial advice you hear?
   Are you tired of spending your leisure time looking after your finances?
   Do you feel that you should be able to save more money than you do?
   Do you think you could be doing better with your investments?
   Are you concerned that you might be paying too much in taxes?

   Would you like help dealing with your estate or retirement planning?
   Do important financial decisions slide because you just don’t seem to get around to them?
   Are you concerned that your wealth is not growing quickly enough?
   Are you trying to ensure your retirement, child's college education or a second home?

•   We all need help, but am I too proud to ask?
   Have you protected your most valuable asset...YOU?
   What do you want your investment portfolio to look like in 5 years time?
   What do I do now with my shares, managed funds or investment properties?
   When was the last time I had a look at my Super?
   Should I start a Self Managed Superannuation Fund?

   Do you have sufficient protection cover to protect my family?
   Is my income protected in the event of illness or injury?
   What is trauma cover? Do I need it?

   Will my investments provide you with your preferred retirement income?
   Do you qualify for the Aged or Veteran Affairs Pension?
   Can I still work whilst I receiving benefits i.e. Aged or Veteran Affairs Pensions?



If you answered “Yes” to even one of these questions, you should probably give some thought to a financial planner. If you answered "Yes" to two or three, it would likely be a wise thing to do. If you said "Yes" to four or more, why wait? Be proactive and click here and we will get you started!

Our Key Specialities

MST Active Financial planners often do much more than manage money or create a retirement plan. In fact they typically address your entire financial situation long before managing your money or retirement plan. Good advisers know how to take a step back and look at a client's overall financial situation and let them know whether they are on track to meet their goals. They can then look at several areas of the financial plan and make recommendations on changes to increase the likelihood of reaching those goals.

Just some of the areas our planners address and add value to you include:

   Mortgage and Investment Financing and Refinancing
   Superannuation and understanding the new laws and how they affect you
   Review ways to secure your lifestyle and financial goals
   Diversify your investments across shares, managed funds, property, fixed interest and cash
   Investment gearing strategies and risk protection
   Provide expert advice on redundancy or early retirement
   Risk, Life and Trauma Insurance, making sure you have what you need
   Financial Planning and Investment advice to optimise your financial situation.
   Reducing tax and taking advantage of the new tax rulings.
   Wealth Creation and Property Investment
   Looking at your complete financial structure
   Saving strategies
   Consolidating debt and paying it off sooner
   Children’s education expenses
   Superannuation and salary sacrifice
   Optimising income strategies
   Insurance and protecting what you’ve got
   Investment (Managed) Funds
   Anything at all!

Ultimately, Building your financial plan is all about...



Clarifying your financial goals and providing the best strategy to help you achieve them and a financial plan is simply the written record of this strategy and we call that a statement of advice. Working with a financial planner can be a very beneficial experience, giving you the peace of mind of knowing that you are ‘on track’ to attaining your goals. However, it is important to be fully aware that financial planning is not a ‘once-off’ process – the first meeting with your planner is simply the first stage in what should be a long-term and ongoing relationship.

In many cases, there are tangible benefits associated with having a financial plan and a financial planner. Planners might, for instance, identify ways to minimize your tax bill, or help you purchase the right type and amount of insurance, or help you reduce and select the best mortgage, or help you save and invest your money more wisely. But the most important benefit to having a financial plan and a financial planner is, “they help you sleep at night!"



The MST Active simple process to you and your money

In all but the rarest of cases, our financial planner will follow a simple process when examining your financial health and prescribing a course of action which include: gathering relevant financial information; setting life goals; examining your current financial status; coming up with a strategy for how you can meet your goals; implementing the strategy and monitoring the success of the strategy and adjusting it along the way, if necessary. MST Active’s financial planners guide you through the whole process listed below.   


We develop a comprehensive view

They will address you and your entire financial picture, inclusive of basic financial information such as income, expenses, asset and liabilities, as well as insurance, income taxes, employee benefits, retirement plans, education, and estate planning when analysing your situation. Typically, they will produce a customised written plan that details your financial situation and the planner's recommendations.   




Together we will identify and prioritise your specific goals, needs and circumstances as well as the range of investment options suited to you. We will analyse your situation and consider all the suitable investment alternatives available.  

We prepare a recommendation for you

We will prepare a statement of advice which details the strategies you need to implement to achieve your goals.  We will make recommendations in writing, detailing every step of the proposal and explain in detail the basis of the strategies we recommend as well as comprehensively outlining all fees and charges involved. Together we will address any concerns to ensure that you are completely satisfied with our recommendations and it is at this point that we mutually agree to proceed to the next step.   

We implement your strategy

We will implement the agreed strategy once you are comfortable with the recommendations. We will only proceed if we believe we can add genuine value.   

We continue to review and update your plan

We will offer to regularly review your financial plan to ensure it remains on track and properly reflects your changing needs and circumstances. At MST Active, we understand that everyone has different needs. Our approach is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution as we guarantee your Financial Planner will take the time to ensure you receive a personalised solution that is particular to your needs and situation.   

It’s that simple!...for you!



Some things you would like to know about Financial Planning and Financial Planners

Do I need a Financial Planner or Financial Adviser?

The first order of business is to understand the differences between a financial planner and other types of advisers. Many Australians don't know the differences between a stockbroker, an investment adviser, a financial planner and a wealth manager.

It's easy to see why as in many cases, stockbrokers, investment advisers, wealth managers and financial planners seemingly provide similar services. A stockbroker is just as likely to "manage" your money as a financial planner. An investment adviser is just as likely to build a retirement plan as a financial planner.   


And what’s the difference between a Financial Planner or Financial Adviser?

There are subtle and not-so subtle differences between financial professionals and advisers. One of the key differences — and there are many — between financial advisers who primarily focus on investments, and those who consider themselves to be financial planners, is the use of carefully constructed financial projections. Advisers have sophisticated tools for managing portfolios, and thus make investment recommendations for a given moment in time. But most don't do a lot of in depth analysis and projections of the future that's because it's a lot of work, it requires a lot of additional knowledge about your situation, and it demands a different kind of expertise than portfolio management. “The reality is that lots of people call themselves financial planners but not all are.”   

What can a financial planner help me with or provide advice about?

It is important to remember that financial planning is about making your hard-earned cash work harder for you and a financial planner can help fully understand your present circumstances and future objectives before they begin working with you to tailor a plan to fit your needs. Therefore, your planner’s focus during your first meeting will be on getting to know you. They will ask you lots of questions and work through a ‘fact finding’ questionnaire with you. This ‘fact finding’ process is to help them (and you) to define your financial goals. The more you can tell your financial planner, the easier it will be to develop a tailored strategy for you.   Once you are happy that your goals have been clearly identified, your planner will begin to discuss the various methods you could choose to achieve these. Your planner will guide you towards the ones that best suit your needs.   



Can a financial planner help me set up a personal and family budget

This is one of their specialties. They will help you recognize how much you need to be saving, whether you are living within your income and what changes you need to consider.   


Can I trust my financial planner to understand all of the issues concerning my financial plan?

A certified financial planner will have a broad background in all of the issues regarding your financial life. However, most companies have staff who specialize in certain areas such as tax regulation, estate law and stock or bond market analysis to whom the planner can refer complex issues and questions.   



Do I have to do what a financial planner tells me to do?

Some of the advice a planner gives may be a bitter pill to swallow, such as cutting back on expenses in order to save more, but the more you are able to follow the advice, the more readily you will achieve the goals set.   



Do I have to invest or buy insurance only from the company that the financial planner works for?

A well qualified and ethical planner will not try to sell you products that are not appropriate for you, even if s/he would earn a higher commission on those products. If you feel you are being “railroaded” into certain investments, you should object, and even report this activity to the board that certified the planner.  



Do I need a financial planner or can I do this myself?

There are personal finance software packages, magazines or self-help books that can help you do your own financial planning if you feel you are capable and are willing to spend the time and effort involved.    



How are financial planners paid?

There are many payment schemes for financial planning services. Some charge either a fixed fee, some charge an hourly fee for the time it takes to develop a financial plan and meet with you, but don’t sell investment products; some are paid by commissions on the insurance or investment products they sell; and others use a combination of fees and commissions.   


How does a planner decide upon the best mix of investments for me?

The risks you are willing to take at this point in your life, the constraints you may have in terms of earnings and therefore investments, and the appropriate mix of insurance and investment vehicles are all taken into consideration in deciding your mix of investments or “portfolio”.   



How much time can I expect to spend with a financial planner?

That will depend totally on how much you want the planner to be involved in the process, how big your portfolio is, and whether the planner is being paid separately or as part of managing your portfolio.  



How much will the planner explain about my investments?

As much or as little as you want to know. Most people who have no financial training just want a general idea of how the investment is expected to perform. Others will want to understand yields, valuation methods, technical analysis, etc.   



How will my current life be affected by a financial plan?

Depending on how closely you follow the planner’s advice, you may have to cut back on expenses and increase savings and insurance in order to achieve your goals.   



Once a financial planner designs my plan, am I done?

Not usually. The wisest choice is to meet periodically with your planner to review your portfolio, any changes in your life or new goals that have arisen. Of course, this is your plan and your money, so even though it is not advised, you can stop working with a planner whenever you want.  



What does a financial planner do?  

Depending on where you are in your life, a financial planner will map out a strategy for your long term financial needs. S/he will help you fix a budget, understand your risk tolerance, save for a home and help determine how to finance it, plan for children’s educations, develop a savings and investment plan, advise on insurance needs, calculate retirement dates and projected retirement needs and income, advise on the use of credit, plan tax strategies and charitable gifts, plan your estate and work with legal advisors to draft your will.


What information will I have to have if I see a financial planner?

You will have to share all of your financial information, and the more the planner knows, the better s/he will be able to advise you. You should therefore bring tax returns, bank and investment statements, a list of current living expenses, copies of insurance policies (including health insurance), retirement plans, mortgage escrow statements, list of outstanding credit card balances, and a list of financial obligations you may have such as college tuition.   



What is financial planning?

Financial planning is having a set plan to manage your finances, including budgeting, cash, savings and investments, tax planning, retirement planning, etc.   



What issues should a financial planner consider as I get closer to retirement?

When you will start to receive your benefits and from what sources, if and how they will be taxed, whether or not you want to continue living in your home, long term care insurance, health insurance and life insurance and how you want your estate set up.   



What issues should a financial planner consider while I am still far from retirement?

You and your planner should set retirement goals, determine how much you will need for retirement, and then design a plan that will assure that you will have sufficient funds for a comfortable retirement.   



What kind of investments do financial planners invest a client’s funds in?

Most financial planners will recommend the more common, accepted types of investments. Commodities such as grains, gold and oils, derivatives such as financial or foreign exchange futures and investments in real estate or collectibles are for the pros and a planner will steer away from these highly risky investments. Usually, an individual or family portfolio will be comprised of cash or certificates of deposit, government and corporate bonds, stocks, and annuities.   


What will affect my retirement plans?

Your current age, desired retirement age, contributions to retirement funds by both you and your employer, and future eligibility requirements.   



Who are financial planners?

Individuals who specialize in managing an individual’s finances, including budgeting, cash, savings and investments, tax planning, retirement planning, etc.   


Who sets goals in financial planning?

A good financial planner will delve deeply into your dreams and aspirations and help you recognize what you changes you can make to achieve them. Therefore, goals are set by both of you as the planner helps you to see what the most important things are for   


Will a financial planner help coordinate retirement benefits such as social security with my company’s retirement plan?

A planning firm will help you to project all of your retirement income and expenses and, depending on where on the road to retirement you are, will help form an investment program to build for the future, or map out a plan for drawing against your retirement funds to live on.   



Will a financial planner help me with my will and estate?

Most financial planning firms offer full service estate planning to their clients. They either have lawyers and tax experts on staff, or work with others in these professions to deal with issues of estate planning. Making sure you can pass on your wealth is another critical aspect of financial planning.  



Why partner with an MST Active Financial Planner?

Since 2008, the Australian Commonwealth Government has decided to regulate the credit code across the entire country, as there have been varying degrees of regulation and licensing from State to State. This means from 1 July 2010, all companies and individuals who deals with credit and lending, will be required to hold a Credit License that is recognise Australia wide. The license will be regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission, the highest level of regulatory body in Australia. This means there is better protection and a higher quality of professional service for you.

All MST Active Finance Professionals will have this license, and their credit license number will be freely available for inspection on our website. It is important that no matter which Finance Professional you see, whether they are a Financial Planner or Mortgage Broker, when they deal with credit then do ask them for a credit license number, and verify that number on the ASIC website.
