Your company has planners who can provide advice in:

• superannuation
• investments and savings plans (including margin lending, securities, derivatives and managed investments)
• investment portfolio construction
• strategic financial planning and asset allocation
• debentures
• retirement planning
• budget and cash flow planning
• debt management
• social security and other government benefits
• salary packaging
• insurance (i.e. life, disability, income protection and trauma)
• deposit and payment products
• estate planning.

ASSIGNMENT HELP FOR INFORMATION

Your advice is limited to the areas in which you have completed appropriate accreditation.

KeyPlan does not deal in the establishment of self-managed superannuation funds, provide real estate evaluations and advice, income tax preparation, superannuation fund accounting, superannuation fund administration or the preparation of legal documents such as wills or trusts. You can assume that you have gained registration from the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) as a tax (financial) adviser.

You have organised a meeting with new clients, Ben and Sarina Masoni, who are seeking advice regarding their current situation. Sarina has just been made redundant from her current employer. This event, together with an inheritance about to be received by Sarina, has acted as a trigger for them to concentrate their efforts now to build an effective long-term wealth strategy for their eventual retirement.

AHCBUS501 – Manage Staff

Ben and Sarina have said they wish to become more active investors but admit they are time poor and would rather enjoy more family time when they are not working, rather than managing the complications of financial investments and strategies. They are looking for an effective wealth creation and estate plan and want peace of mind to know that it is structured to meet their and the family’s needs. The following pages detail the information you have obtained from them at your initial meeting.
