Erin Truscott:
Hi, I’m Erin from Direct Wealth, and I want to talk to you about retirement planning. So, when we sit down with a client at Direct Wealth who is there for some retirement planning, the number one thing is to really understand what they want to achieve and what this looks like. How old are they going to be? Are they retiring together, if they’re a couple, or separately, and what they want this process to look like? Once we’ve had the opportunity to understand everything about your super and any other avenues that you’re going to be able to accumulate income from and to use in your retirement, we will then build a plan to make sure we can monitor that as you start and go through retirement.

One of the biggest problems we see people run into when they don’t get advice is really not understanding the complex landscape that retirement brings, and this comes with all kinds of limitations, things like the age we can access our super, the tax that comes along with super because there are taxable components, how we can transition to retirement specifically, and when we can then fully access that super without any boundaries.

So, if we think about what impacts a client’s retirement lifestyle the most, for us at Direct Wealth, one of the key things would be trying to start as early as you can. Because if we can start putting in place those strategies for building and tax minimization nice and early, then this will have a significant impact on your capital amount, which gives you more income at retirement.

After you’ve sat with your Direct Wealth advisor and you’ve built that retirement plan, the next part is what we believe is the most important, and that’s the ongoing review process. And this is just all about working with you on an ongoing basis to understand anything that comes up or that changes to ensure that we can adapt that plan as you continue to move into retirement.

So, if you are thinking about starting on that retirement planning journey, please do reach out to Direct Wealth, and we’ll team you up with the best advisor for you to help you start that journey.

What Kind of Insurance Do You Need?

Insurance is a crucial part of a solid financial plan, giving you security and peace of mind when you need it most. It protects you and your loved ones from financial hardship due to unexpected events. Personal insurance covers a range of areas, including health, income, life, and accidents, ensuring financial security and peace of mind.

In this section, we’ll explain three important types of personal insurance that we specialise in: income protection insurance, life insurance, and total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance. Each of these offers unique benefits and helps protect your financial future.

Income Protection Insurance

Income protection insurance replaces part of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury. This is especially useful for self-employed individuals who don’t have employer-provided benefits.

By securing the best income protection insurance in Australia, you can maintain financial stability during tough times. You can even get this insurance through your superannuation for added convenience.

Here’s Why Most People Get Income Protection Insurance:

  • Monthly Benefits: Provides a portion of your income if you’re unable to work due to illness or injury, helping you manage living expenses.
  • Customisable Policies: Tailor your policy with options for benefit period and waiting period that best suit your needs.
  • Self-Employment Coverage: Specialised policies available for self-employed individuals, ensuring continuous income protection.
  • Superannuation Integration: Obtain income protection insurance through your superannuation for seamless coverage.
  • Redundancy Coverage: Some policies offer protection during redundancy, providing additional security.

Life Insurance

Life insurance provides a financial payout to your beneficiaries if you pass away, ensuring your loved ones are financially secure. It can also be bundled with income protection for a comprehensive safety net.

Here’s Why Most People Get Life Insurance:

  • Financial Security: Ensures your loved ones receive a lump sum payment to cover expenses and maintain their lifestyle.
  • Terminal Illness Benefits: Offers financial support if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness, providing peace of mind during challenging times.
  • Tax-Deductible Premiums: Some life insurance premiums may be tax-deductible, providing additional financial advantages.
  • Comprehensive Plans: Combine life insurance with income protection for a holistic coverage approach.
  • Customised Policies: Tailored life insurance plans can be matched to your specific needs and financial situation.

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) Insurance

TPD insurance provides a lump sum payment if you become totally and permanently disabled and can’t work again. This coverage ensures you have the financial support needed to manage your expenses and maintain your quality of life.

Here’s Why Most People Get TPD Insurance:

  • Lump Sum Payment: Provides a significant payment if you become permanently disabled, helping to cover medical costs and living expenses.
  • Integrated Coverage: Death and total permanent disability insurance combines death benefits with TPD coverage for comprehensive protection, giving you a greater degree of protection. 
  • Ongoing Financial Support: Ensures you have the resources to manage expenses and adapt to lifestyle changes resulting from disability.

By understanding these essential insurance types and their benefits, you can make informed decisions to protect yourself and your loved ones. If you have any questions or need personalised advice, contact us today to explore your options.

Over the course of about 3 years we have become so comfortable with Luke we feel like we are talking to family when we meet.

Ben took the time to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand and always made sure I was comfortable with each decision. His attention to detail and proactive communication helped me feel confident about my financial future.

We had a great experience with our last visit, now that hubby is 67yrs of age, they guided us in a few ways to repay our 2 loans.

We highly recommend Direct Wealth to anyone who wants financial advice of any kind. Very professional and understanding. Many thanks to Peter for many years and to Jason, who is now looking after us.
Cheers, Ronona and Warren Cuffe

my wife and myself were introduced to Ben Marlow of Direct Wealth for a discussion on looking after our superannuation & pension requirements. I was a little doubtful at first as the fund i was with was performing ok for me. Ben gave us his background on financial planning and we had a second meeting with Ben. After this meeting my wife and myself decided to let Direct Wealth look after our finances. We could not be more pleased with our switch to Direct Wealth as the team there are so helpful and keeping us informed on our financial matters. I would recommend to anyone Direct Wealth for looking after their financial planning.

I recently had a follow up meeting with Luke Youd who has now joined the Direct Wealth team. As usual the meeting with Luke was very informative and he is always generous with his time to explain things to me – regardless of how obscure my questions might be.

I have great confidence in my dealings with Luke going forward and also with the friendly Direct Wealth staff in general, who are helpful and proactive with their communications with their clients.

Was my first time seeing a financial advisor and Luke make this process easy and straightforward he was down to earth and realistic, he listened to my dreams and business ideas and he has already in a few days put together the plan for me to get my goals.

We have been under the financial guidance of Kirsty for our future plans . At first it was such a daunting decision but Kirsty was happy to explain and answer all of our questions in a friendly and open manner. We are very happy to be with the team at Direct Wealth.
google
Initial chat with Ben. Found him very patient, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Ben also came across as proactive – when presented non-financial industry information relating to an industry specific risk in a space that was removed from the finance industry, and that he wasn’t previously aware of – Ben indicated that he would go away and investigate that further risk so he could be informed for his other clients. Ben followed through on call times, and emails when he said he would send them. Cannot comment on the service beyond that. Would recommend as someone who was approachable and easy to talk to.
google
I was impressed with the level of service and knowledge Lyle and the office team offered me for the obtaining of my first home loan!
Overall, the financial advice I received was invaluable in securing my first home loan! I highly recommend calling Sally to arrange an appointment with Lyle for a master in professional advice for any significant financial commitment or goal!

When it comes to financial advice and strategies to set you up for the future, Luke Youd and his team are the only choice.

Can’t speak highly enough of the advise that Joel & the team at Direct Wealth have supplied. Joel is always available when we need to contact him & answers our questions with ease. We have delt in the past with other super companies & have found Direct Wealth the easiest & most professional to deal with, we have no hesitation in recommending Joel & Direct Wealth to our friends & family.

Thanks Luke -We are very happy with the past seven years of financial recommendations.

Your knowledge regarding Centerlink has also been very helpful.

Since changing over from another Financial Advisor to Direct Wealth two years ago I find them to be a very professional and knowledgeable business. I recently had my yearly review with Ben, and I was very impressed with the way my finances are being looked after. I look forward to my next review. I would certainly recommend Direct Wealth to any interested prospective client.

More than happy with Ben’s service. Worked with him for 3 years planning retirement, and I’m now making the transition next month! Very excited and looking forward to working with Direct Wealth moving forward!

Our circumstances changed and we needed advice fast. Lyle took the worry and panic away by setting up our portfolio to ensure our future is protected.
Lyle is professional, courteous and truly cares about his clients. His knowledge is exceptional and he is efficient.
Our family has total trust in Lyle and the team at Direct Wealth, knowing that they have our best interests in mind.
google
Ben Marlow was initially thrust upon us after the amalgamation of our accountants with Direct Wealth and this is without doubt one of the best financial outcomes to have happened to my wife and I. Initially I was sceptical of his enthusiasm and apparent desire to nurture and improve our financial stability moving towards retirement. Ben has tailored his communication style to not only be relatable to us but also educational and has further embedded our trust in his advice with proven outcomes. I would absolutely recommend Ben to any prospective client.
google
The Direct Wealth team were a pleasure to deal with. Kirsty was efficient and extremely flexible with fitting in around my work schedule.

Kirsty broke everything down and made the entire process seamless. Kirsty communicated everything clearly and walked me through step by step which I am so thankful for.

I couldn’t recommend highly enough!
