Financial Planning
What can OnTrack Wealth help you with?
Whether you want to get started and just dip your toes into “investing” or you are seeking a complete, holistic financial plan encompassing investments, superannuation/retirement, debt management, negative gearing, estate planning and so on, then we can help.
We can work with you to determine your risk profile and whether that is appropriate to achieve your goals and objectives.
For example you don’t want to be invested in highly volatile investments and be caught unaware when a GFC type event occurs.
On the other hand, if time is on your side and you can ride out market volatility, then placing all your funds in Term Deposits or Bonds may keep your capital intact, but may not give you the growth and outcomes needed.
A clear understanding of matching risk, time horizons, needs and objectives is so, so important.
At OnTrack Wealth, we will make sure you clearly understand these key elements before you commit yourself.
In the meantime, we urge you to read this article about Developing an Investment Plan, prepared by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission.

Salary Sacrifice
Salary packaging or salary sacrificing reduces your taxable income and so reduces the amount of income tax you pay.
Salary sacrificing is an arrangement between you and your employer whereby you can pay for some items or services straight from your pre-tax salary.
You must enter into a salary sacrificing arrangement before you earn the income. It can never be retrospective.
But salary sacrifice alone is not your only choice. There are many tax-effective strategies available without locking your money away into superannuation until you retire.
Make an appointment with one of our Advisers at OnTrack Wealth to discuss all options available to you.
