Mr D Carmichael - Statement Of Advice

ADVICE & BASIS FOR ADVICE

Following my evaluation of your personal circumstances, and your balanced risk profile, I have formed a strategy that I feel meets your needs. My recommendations have been made on the basis that, superannuation is the most efficient vehicle within which to accumulate long term wealth for your retirement. Holding your investments inside a superannuation fund offers some significant advantages over holding them outside of superannuation. These advantages are: Earnings (both capital gains and income) on investments within in a superannuation fund are taxed at a maximum rate of 15% which compares favorably to the tax rates paid on earnings outside of superannuation. There will be no tax payable on earnings within a superannuation fund, so long as these investments are supporting a pension. Everyone who has paid tax on their super (that's most workers) can look forward to paying absolutely no tax on their super payout after they turn 60. Whether you take it as a lump sum or as a superannuation pension, you'll pay no tax on your payout, as long as you take it after 60. You won't even have to declare it on your tax return. Contributing funds to superannuation can provide you with significant reductions in your income tax liability. You have and existing Self Managed Super Fund and your Superannuation Guarantee (S.G) is currently being credited to this fund. You are comfortable taking a long term view on your investments, and understand that short term price volatility does exist when undertaking a financial investment. Taking this and your current financial situation into account, together with your needs and goals for the future, my recommendations are detailed below. Recommendation 1 Commence a Transition to Retirement TtR strategy I recommend you commence a Transition to Retirement (TTR) strategy. This strategy for you will involve two parts. The first is to establish a Transition to Retirement Pension, subsequently creating a separate pension account within your SMSF (this implementation and subsequent creation of the sub account will need to be arranged by your accountant). The second part will be for you to arrange with your employer to salary sacrifice a portion of you future salary. Salary sacrifice is a contractual agreement with your employer to alter your salary package by exchanging part of your future salary or wages for monetary contributions to your super fund. A Transition to Retirement strategy is flexible and can be used in any one of the following ways: 1. Reduce work hours and maintain your income - You could reduce your employment hours and supplement your reduced salary with 100% tax free income generated from a Transition to Retirement Allocated Pension. 2. Increase your income - You could continue working full time and generate 100% tax free income from a Transition to Retirement Allocated Pension in order to supplement your employment income to meet certain expenses such as paying a debt or improving your lifestyle. 3. Increase your super savings - You could enter into a salary sacrifice agreement with your employer and supplement your reduced salary with 100% tax free income generated from a Transition to Retirement Allocated Pension. This strategy may be a
7 Mr D Carmichael - Statement Of Advice

tax effective way to enhance your super savings in the long term whilst enabling you to maintain your current income level. Given your objectives of 3, I recommend that you arrange with your employer to salary sacrifice up to the maximum contribution allowable per annum into your SMSF, and assuming a SMSF balance of $250,000 (approx), I recommend you roll the entire $250,000 into the TtR Pension Account. This would mean you would have to draw a minimum yearly pension of $10,000 (4% of account balance) and be able to draw a maximum of $25,000 per annum (10% of account balance). A separate accumulation account within your SMSF will receive your future contributions. There are significant benefits associated with this strategy including: Personal income that is salary sacrificed is subject only to contributions tax of 15%, rather than tax a your Marginal Tax Rate All income subsequently received from your superannuation pension is 100% tax free Once in pension mode, any earnings within the pension account are totally tax free. That is, all capital gains, interest and dividends are tax-free. This is clearly a very attractive situation. However, it is non-commutable and you cant generally withdraw a lump sum until a condition of release is met. These conditions include: when you retire permanently when you terminate your employment after age 60 (even if you dont intend to permanently retire) when you reach age 65 if you become permanently incapacitated if you die (in which case your dependants will receive a benefit) Some requirements that may need to be satisfied when implementing a SMSF pension include, but are not limited to: Application form for the members to hand to the trustees, notifying that you wish to start the pension; You confirm the Conditions of Release Application to commence form (These set out all the rules for your Pension payment); SIS Regulation complying Trustee Minutes agreeing to pay the pension; The trustees provide a Product Disclosure Statement setting out the terms of the pension
Please note: There is an annual concessional contribution cap of $25,000. For people aged 50 or over as at 1 July 2007, the annual concessional cap is $50,000 and this transitional limit is available until 30 June 2012. Where a person turns 50 during this transitional period, the transitional limit is available from and including that year. Amounts in excess of the concessional contributions cap will be subject to excess tax of 31.5% (+15% contributions tax). Please confirm with me prior to making any superannuation contributions. *Your salary sacrifice could reduce or eliminate the amount of employer Superannuation Guarantee contributions required to be paid by your employer on your behalf. For this reason it is advisable for all the terms of the arrangement to be fully and clearly documented.

Mr D Carmichael - Statement Of Advice

Recommendation 2 Contribute the balance of any remaining income to your SMSF (up to a maximum of $150,000 per annum) as a non-concessional contribution. There are limits to the amount that be contributed to Superannuation. Personal superannuation contributions from an individuals post-tax income (known as undeducted or non-concessional contributions) will not be taxed when contributed to superannuation, however will be limited to $150,000 per annum. People under age 65 will be able to bring forward two years of contributions and make a larger contribution of $450,000. Those aged 65 or over will need to satisfy the work test, which means they must have been gainfully employed for at least 40 hours in a period of not more than 30 consecutive days in that financial year. Non-concessional contributions include: personal contributions for which an income tax deduction is not claimed (this also includes such contributions that are made to a constitutionally protected fund) contributions your spouse makes to your super fund account contributions in excess of your capital gains tax (CGT) cap amount amounts transferred from foreign super funds (excluding amounts included in the funds assessable income) contributions made for your benefit (if you are under 18 years of age) that are not made by or on behalf of your employer. The non-concessional contributions cap is $150,000 per annum. Taxpayers under the age of 65 are able to bring forward two years of future entitlements to non-concessiojnal contributions giving them a cap of $450,000 over three financial years. If you were to exceed the contribution cap, you will be taxed at 46.5% on the excess amount, so it is of paramount importance that this cap is not breached. Recommendation 3 Update and implement a change to your SMSF Investment Strategy and asset allocation This transition to the pension phase will require both an update to your Self Managed Super Funds investment strategy and a possible subsequent change to your investments within your SMSF. The next important consideration is the investment of the funds in your superannuation fund. In doing this, the first place to start is to define an Asset Allocation that fits your objectives and risk profile. You must also take into consideration that you will be required to draw a minimum annual pension of 4% of your Pension account balance and you should subsequently ensure your investments are generating this required level of income. I recommend that the following Balanced asset allocation be adopted:

Mr D Carmichael - Statement Of Advice

'Balanced' Asset Allocation

Australian Equities International Equities Australian Fixed Interest Property International Fixed Interest Cash

Spreading investments across a number of asset classes and market sectors will assist in lowering investment risk and volatility, whilst increasing the chances of achieving your objectives. Additionally, it is important to keep your allocations appropriately balanced. We may need to alter these allocations in the future to ensure they are providing the highest return for a given level of risk.

Recommendation 4 Review your personal insurances to ensure you have the adequate level of cover. Maintaining adequate insurance is the building block of good planning. Without insurance all your goals and objectives are put at risk. There are many forms of insurance that need to be considered, put in place, and reviewed for adequacy on an annual basis. Some of these are: Personal Insurance Term Life Total & Permanent Disablement Trauma Insurance Income Replacement Domestic Insurance House & Contents Motor Vehicle, Boat, etc Liability insurance Private Health Hospital Cover Ancillary Travel

I have not reviewed any of the above but strongly suggest that you should carefully review all your policies for currency and adequacy. Your insurance consultant or broker will be happy to assist you with this review. Please let me know if you require a referral to a qualified insurance broker who will be able to carry out a comprehensive review of your current situation. Please advise me of any changes to your cover.

Mr D Carmichael - Statement Of Advice

Recommendation 5 Review your Estate planning documentation and implement the appropriate strategies. You have not provided any information regarding the status of your Will(s). Your Will(s) should be reviewed on a regular basis, particularly when your circumstances change, to ensure that these reflect your current wishes in relation to the distribution of your estate on death. There are many issues that require careful consideration to make sure this element of your planning is undertaken with the view to ensuring that your overall strategy and your objectives and goals for you and your family are met. It is recommended that you consult an expert in Estate Planning or your trustee company for advice in this area. Enduring Power of Attorney I recommend you consider appointing an Enduring Power of Attorney. An "Enduring Power of Attorney" gives you the power to choose who you want to make financial decisions on your behalf, should you lose the legal capacity to make decisions for yourself in the future. An Enduring Power of Attorney can only be made by a person whilst they are still in good health and of sound mind and capable of making those legal and financial decisions for themselves. You may choose your spouse or partner, another family member, a friend, an accountant, a lawyer, the Public trustee or a private trustee company. The most important consideration in choosing an attorney is whether you trust the person or agency you have appointed, to manage your property and financial affairs in your best interest.

ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS AND STRATEGIES CONSIDERED In seeking to meet your objectives, and as part of preparing our recommendations, we have considered and subsequently discounted several alternative strategies. These included: Retaining your current strategy of contributing excess income to your bank account. Whilst this will provide you with asset security, we have discounted this strategy because: ~ There is no potential for capital growth and as such the ability to protect your assets from inflation is limited ~ The interest generated from a cash account will be fully taxable

WHY THIS ADVICE IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU This advice is appropriate to you for the following reasons: This strategy endeavors to meet your requirement of increasing your superannuation balances by as much as possible prior to your retirement, whilst simultaneously minimizing your tax liability A superfund is the most efficient investment vehicle from which to receive an income stream in retirement RISKS INVOLVED IN IMPLEMENTING THIS ADVICE As with any financial investment, there are risks involved with implementing this advice. A list of these risks is detailed below on the following page, however the risks specific to you are: In seeking a balanced portfolio you must be aware that your capital will be subjected to market forces and volatility. Legislative risk investing in super requires confidence that the tax incentives and the regulations surrounding accessing your superannuation wont change The requirement to preserve your super until retirement may not allow total flexibility to redeem funds, whereas a cash account does CONFLICTS OF INTEREST There are no conflicts of interest.

ONGOING SERVICE
It is a fact of life that your circumstances will change over time. It is important that you communicate with me if you experience major changes in your circumstances. This will enable me to suggest appropriate adjustments to your strategy. This strategy will need to be reviewed annually or in the event of a major change in your circumstances. There will be no charges for any reviews. There may be charges incurred for any reviews that result in the preparation of a Statement of Advice. Any such charges will be disclosed prior to the preparation of a Statement of Advice (SoA).

PROJECTIONS
We have estimated that over the next 6 years until your retirement at age 65, contributing all available funds to your super fund and employing a Transition to Retirement strategy could assist you in accumulating an extra $136,000 in net retirement funds whilst saving you an estimated $65,000 in income tax.

CLIENT RISK PROFILE

In order to understand your perception towards investment volatility, we define the risk/return levels of investors across a spectrum from low risk to high risk where low risk is extremely conservative with a focus on capital preservation and high risk is highly speculative seeking higher long term capital gains whilst being prepared to accept higher volatility and compromise portfolio balance. From our discussions and the risk profile questionnaire you completed, I would rate you as a balanced investor. Defensive You are a Defensive investor. Risk must be very low and you are prepared to accept lower returns to protect capital. The negative effects of tax and inflation will not concern you provided your initial investment is protected. Moderate You are a Moderate investor seeking better than basic returns, but risk must be low. Typically an older investor seeking to protect the wealth which you have accumulated, you may be prepared to consider less aggressive growth investments. Balanced You are a Balanced investor who wants a balanced portfolio to work towards medium to longterm financial goals. You require an investment strategy which will cope with the affects of tax and inflation. Calculated risks will be acceptable to you to achieve good returns. Growth You are a Growth investor, probably earning sufficient income to invest most funds for capital growth. Prepared to accept higher volatility and moderate risks, your primary concern is to accumulate assets over the medium to long-term. You require a balanced portfolio, but more aggressive investments may be included. High Growth You are a High Growth investor prepared to compromise portfolio balance to pursue potentially greater long-term returns. Your investment choices are diverse, but carry with them a higher level of risk. Security of capital is secondary to the potential for wealth accumulation. Risk Vs Return All investments carry some risk. Generally, the greater the return, the higher the risk. It is important to understand these risks in relation to your own investment strategy.

14

Mr D Carmichael - Statement Of Advice

All investments should pass the sleep test. If you lie awake at night worrying about the security of your financial investments your investments are not suitable for your risk profile. Shown below are some of the more common risks you may encounter. Inflation Risk The possibility that the purchasing power of your money may not keep pace with inflation. This may happen if, for example, you do not invest at all or do not invest sufficiently in growth products. The risk here is that you will achieve a poor real return on your funds invested. Diversification There is a risk if you put all your eggs in one basket. There are four main asset classes and soundly based portfolios are spread over these classes. Market Risk Movements in a market can cause an investment to decrease (or increase) in value. Reinvestment Risk If you invest in fixed rate investments, such as bonds, you may have to reinvest maturing money at a lower rate of interest if rates decline during the life of that investment. Liquidity Risk The possibility that you may not be able to readily access your funds when you need them most because they are invested in illiquid assets such as real estate. Credit Risk The possibility that an institution holding your capital (ie. a debenture issuer) may fail to pay interest or return your capital. Regulatory Risk The possibility of government policy changes (ie in the area of superannuation) negatively affecting your financial strategy. Timing Risk The possibility that a strategy of trying to time an entry and exit from markets will expose you to greater short-term volatility. Value Risk The possibility you will pay too much for a particular product or that you will sell it too cheaply. Manager Risk The possibility that you will invest with a fund manager based primarily on their recent past performance without regard to their fundamental ability to cater to your particular needs or performance expectations over the time-frame you have in mind. Currency Risk The possibilities that investments held in other countries may rise or fall in value due to the relative value of the currency they are held in to the domestic currency. Longevity Risk The possibilities that your super fund will be depleted prior to your life expectancy. Longevity risk exists due to the increasing life expectancy trends among retirees.
