A friendly reminder to get financial advice from a qualified, licensed financial adviser. I have 25 years experience in my field, and as I wrote back in December, my number 1 goal is to limit your losses. This is even more timely now considering some investors have been hit with losses on their superannuation.

Scam warning - well maybe not a scam, but bad investment warning! I met with a client recently who had received a call to look at investing his superannuation elsewhere. The offer sounded good, so he took it up. The administrator of that fund is now in liquidation, and his funds have been frozen. It turns out that this company had raised a few hundred million, but the various projects they were working on had meant that they weren't managing the money well, and clients weren't able to access cash from the fund as they needed.
Sometimes advisers get told that we're too conservative, or we have a too narrow focus. This is one of the reasons. We recommend our clients to invest in tried and true funds and investments, and our number 1 goal is to ensure that our clients don't lose their money. This doesn't mean that you won't experience volatility, but there's a big difference between regular market volatility and actually having your funds frozen, or potentially even suffering an actual loss on your funds. Get in touch with a licensed adviser (like myself) to discuss your super and your options.
