There are advantages and disadvantages to holding your insurance within your superannuation, and understanding these differences is crucial in making the right decision for you and your family. While having insurance within your super can provide benefits such as tax-effective premiums and automatic coverage, it may also come with limitations, including reduced payout amounts and potential delays in claims processing. Additionally, premiums paid from your super balance may reduce your retirement savings over time.

At Olleh Wealth we can guide you through the complexities of these options, helping you weigh the pros and cons specific to your situation. They can evaluate factors such as your financial goals, family needs, and retirement plans to determine whether holding insurance inside or outside of your superannuation is the most suitable choice. Moreover, they can provide tailored strategies to maximise your coverage while minimising potential drawbacks, ensuring your insurance aligns with your broader financial plan.

By seeking professional advice, you can make informed decisions that protect your family's future while safeguarding your retirement savings.

That’s a great question. The role of a financial adviser is to guide you in managing your superannuation in a way that aligns with your goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation. While you ultimately remain in control of your super, we can provide expert advice on:

- Investment Strategy: Helping you choose the right mix of assets (e.g., shares, property, fixed interest) that match your long-term goals and comfort with risk.
- Contributions: Advising on strategies such as salary sacrifice, government co-contributions, or spouse contributions to help grow your balance efficiently.
- Super Fund Selection: Evaluating your current fund to ensure it’s cost-effective and meets your needs or helping you find an alternative if it doesn’t.
- Insurance Inside Super: Reviewing life, TPD, and income protection insurance held within your super to ensure appropriate coverage.
- Retirement Planning: Structuring your super to provide a comfortable income stream when you retire.

If you choose to work with us, we’ll regularly review your superannuation to adapt to changes in your circumstances, market conditions, or legislation. Our goal is to help you maximize your retirement savings and achieve peace of mind.
