Your Goals and Needs This section describes the reasons that you came to me for financial advice and highlights what you want to achieve.

Understanding your goals and needs is an essential part of developing a personalised financial strategy that is right for you. The goals you want to achieve, as well as additional needs that we identified from your personal and financial details, have been summarised below. The recommendations made in this Statement of Advice have been designed to meet both your goals and needs.

Your Stated Goals are:

Superannuation options including consolidating your existing super funds and making more use of your Super

monies:

- Owning a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF)

- Consolidating your Superannuation Funds

- Investing your Super monies into Growth assets to build for future retirement

Reviewing your current insurances compared to your insurance needs to ensure that you are covered adequately

and in the most effective way.

- You would like to ensure that you and your family are financially protected in the event of serious illness, disability or death.

- To ensure your income is protected in the event that you are unable to work due to temporary illness or

disability.

Establish Wills and Powers of Attorney for each of you.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 4 of 37

Your Tolerance to Investment Risk This section describes the level of investment risk that you are comfortable with and shows how we will invest your money accordingly.

During our meetings we have discussed your thoughts and feelings on investing, along with fundamental investment concepts such as risk, return, volatility and diversification. This included your level of comfort with various investment risks, as well as the returns and volatility that are associated with different investments. You also completed a risk profile questionnaire to provide us with more specific details about your attitude to the risks involved in investing. The purpose of these discussions and completion of the risk profile questionnaire was to identify your risk profile. Your risk profile is simply a description of how much risk you are comfortable with in order to achieve your goals and it is used to guide decisions around how your money is invested.

For further details on the nature of each risk profile, including the potential return expectations, please refer to the ‘Further explanation of this advice’ section and the attached fact files.

Your Results The results from the risk profile questionnaire you have completed show that you both have a ‘High Growth’ risk profile. We have discussed what this means for you, including:

The types of investments that are appropriate for this risk profile.

The risks associated with the various investments that fall within this risk profile.

Your tolerance to market fluctuations. Your main focus is maximising investment returns; risk is not a consideration. You have a high tolerance to any short-term investment market fluctuations, and are comfortable with the notion that over the long-term the best way to maximise returns is through growth assets. As such you would feel comfortable with a more aggressive portfolio structure (eg exposure to Australian and International shares).

Important Details about Your Risk Profile The details below show how your money should be invested under your risk profile. However following discussions, you have

specifically stated your interest in long term growth investments therefore as a result your investment option will not be aligned

to your benchmark asset allocation.

Benchmark Asset Allocation: High Growth

Investment term 7 Years

Benchmark: net return objective CPI plus 4%

Asset Balance: growth / income 100% / Nil

Probability of a negative return* 18.10%

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 5 of 37

Your Personal Insurance Needs This section describes your personal insurance requirements and how we calculated the amount of insurance that you need.

Personal risk insurance gives you the peace of mind that you and your dependants are financially supported in the event of serious illness, disability or death.

Your Insurance Requirements The amount of insurance cover recommended is based on your personal and financial details. To calculate your insurance requirements we have taken into account:

Your income, expenses, assets and liabilities.

Your personal insurance goals.

Summary of Advice This section summarises our discussion of the recommendations that have been made to meet your needs and goals.

We have offered you a full advice service, however, you have elected to restrict our advice to:

Superannuation Planning

Establish a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) and consolidate both your existing superannuation funds into the SMSF. Open a Macquarie Cash Management Account as the cash hub for the SMSF.

Invest part of your super rollover monies and borrow additional funds into a share portfolio through Macquarie Equity Lever with a pre-selected portfolio.

Direct both your Super Guarantee Contributions (SGC) into the SMSF.

Wealth Protection

Implement both your Life Insurances via your SMSF, the premium will be paid by your SMSF.

Implement Mary’s Total & Permanent Disability Insurances inside your SMSF, the premium will be paid by your SMSF.

Implement John’s Total & Permanent Disability Insurances outside your SMSF, the premium will be paid by you.

Implement both your Trauma and John’s Income Protection insurances outside your SMSF, the premium will be paid by you. These strategies will maximise your tax deductions and create efficient personal cashflow.

Estate Planning

Establish a Will and Power of Attorney for each of you to ensure that your Estate is distributed in the manner you wish.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 8 of 37

Recommended Strategy This section provides details of the strategies that we have recommended and explains how they meet your objectives.

Goal(s) this strategy meets Owning a Self-Managed Super Fund

Establish a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF)

We recommend that you:

Establish a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) with a Corporate Trustee.

Consolidate your existing superannuation funds into your SMSF.

Establish a Macquarie Cash Management Account as the cash hub of your SMSF.

Direct your Super Guarantee Contributions and/or salary sacrifice contributions to your SMSF.

Implement an Investment Strategy appropriate to your risk profile for your SMSF.

How this strategy meets your objectives

SMSFs are sometimes referred to as ‘do it yourself’ superannuation funds. SMSFs provide a greater degree of control and flexibility than a public offer superannuation fund, making them suitable for sophisticated investment and retirement strategies.

The main difference between SMSFs and other types of superannuation funds is that a SMSF member also acts as a Trustee (or Director of a Corporate Trustee) and must prepare and implement an Investment Strategy for their fund and manage the benefit payments.

With a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF):

You have a greater degree of control and flexibility over your superannuation.

You have the ability to invest in assets not traditionally available within the superannuation environment, such as direct property or alternative assets.

You are able to borrow to invest under a Limited Recourse Loan Arrangement.

You can obtain a more comprehensive insurance policy in the SMSF to protect you against an insured event. Please see our recommendation on insurance for more information.

You have the scope to purchase business commercial property and lease it back to your business – should either of you at some point in the future decide to commence a suitable business.

You can implement tailored Estate planning strategies within your SMSF. It is important to consult a legal professional in relation to Estate planning matters.

To ensure your retirement savings grow over time it is important to:

Make sure your employer contributes to your SMSF.

Have an appropriate Investment Strategy for your SMSF to ensure your funds are invested in accordance with the SMSF’s risk profile.

Having a Corporate Trustee is useful in situations where a single member wants full control over how the fund is managed, where the SMSF members may change, where a member has a high risk of personal litigation, or where the SMSF would like to borrow to invest.

Risks & disadvantages Each Trustee is fully responsible for the decisions and operation of the Fund - this includes overall legislative compliance.

Failure to comply with regulatory and administrative requirements can result in fines, tax penalties and even criminal charges for the Trustees.

For Funds with a lower level of assets, costs may be relatively high as a percentage of the Fund's assets, when compared to other Superannuation Funds

It is essential that you wait until you have been accepted for insurance within the SMSF before relinquishing your existing insurance benefits held in your existing product. Once your insurance application is accepted, rollover the outstanding balance into the SMSF.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 9 of 37

Goal(s) this strategy meets Consolidating your Superannuation Funds

Consolidate your Superannuation Funds

We recommend that you rollover the total balance of your existing superannuation funds into your Self-Managed Super Fund as detailed in the product recommendations section.

Apply for Life cover with your Self-Managed Super Fund being the policy owner. Details of our insurance recommendations can be found in the Wealth Protection section.

How this strategy meets your objectives

By consolidating your superannuation funds and contributions into your SMSF:

You will be able to invest according to your superannuation goals and preferences.

Your super will be easier to track.

You won't be doubling up on account keeping fees.

The SMSF fees are generally a fixed cost and you may find cost efficiencies by having a higher balance in your SMSF.

Please see the Replacement of Product section and for a complete analysis of the current and recommended superannuation funds.

To implement my recommendation:

The process to fully establish your SMSF will take approximately 3-6 weeks. At the end of the process you will receive the Funds’ TFN and/or ABN. You can then apply to rollover your existing superannuation into the SMSF cash hub.

You can then lodge a “Choice of Fund” form with your employer nominating your SMSF to receive your superannuation contributions.

Risks & disadvantages There is no guarantee that the SMSF will outperform your existing funds.

Any fees and costs associated with rolling over your super will reduce your super balance.

There is no guarantee that rolling over your superannuation will provide a better outcome.

If you are maintaining insurance cover in a large APRA regulated fund, the potential loss of insurance benefits as a result of switching from the large fund to a SMSF is an important consideration.

If you are taking out replacement insurance cover through the SMSF it is essential that you wait until you have been accepted for new insurance cover before relinquishing your existing insurance benefits. Once your insurance application is accepted, we recommend that you rollover the outstanding balance into the SMSF.

Time out of the market during the transaction phase may result in the potential loss of returns on your investments during this time period.

Possible loss of tax/franking credits from your current superannuation plans.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 10 of 37

Goal(s) this strategy meets Investing your Super monies into Growth assets to build for future retirement

Invest with Macquarie Equity Lever

We recommend that you:

Invest $150,000 of your super rollover monies and borrow an additional $150,000 into a share portfolio through Macquarie Equity Lever.

Select the Growth Plus pre-selected portfolio. This share portfolio consists of 6 stocks selected by Macquarie Equity Research.

How this strategy meets your objectives

Macquarie Equity Lever enables you to borrow to invest in selected ASX-listed securities through instalment receipts. Borrowing to invest (or gearing) enables you to boost your investment earning power by increasing the amount of money you have available to invest.

With the Macquarie Equity Lever:

You benefit from any growth and income potential of the selected share portfolio.

You invest a greater amount of total money than you would be able to on your own. This means you can increase your wealth at an accelerated rate.

Interest is capitalised and dividends from the underlying securities are used to reduce the outstanding balance.

You can choose to borrow up to 50% of your share portfolio.

There is no credit assessment upon application.

Your SMSF can choose to receive full legal ownership of the underlying securities once you have made the completion payment.

The Macquarie Equity Lever has a Limited Recourse feature. This simply means that if the final proceeds of the sale of your underlying securities are insufficient to pay the completion payment for all of your instalment receipts, Macquarie cannot seek further payment from you.

You can acquire additional instalment receipts at any time to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

No withdrawal fees or termination fees apply for early closure of instalment receipts or an early completion payment.

It is an eligible investment for Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) giving you the opportunity to borrow to invest using your SMSF.

You can see the impact of this recommendation on your cashflow in the Summary of Financial Outcomes section of this document.

Risks & disadvantages The Macquarie Equity Lever product has similarities to a margin lending facility in that the investment product is subject to margin calls called ‘instalment acceleration events’. If an instalment acceleration event occurs, you must reduce your current facility Leverage to Valuation Ratio (LVR) to 5% below the maximum facility LVR.

Should you trigger the ‘instalment acceleration event’, you may be forced to sell during a declining market.

Whilst the investors hold the beneficial ownership to the instalment receipt, investors are not entitled to voting rights.

Your investment returns may not offer you above inflation returns.

If your instalment receipt has a fixed interest rate, you may be charged break costs as a consequence of a number of circumstances, including paying your outstanding instalment balance in whole or in part prior to the completion date or as a result of your request for an early closure of your instalment receipts.

Issuance and Advisor brokerage fees apply.

In the same way that gearing has the ability to magnify returns it can also magnify the losses.

You may need to apply for adequate wealth protection cover to protect your income, in the event you cannot return back to work. Insurance premiums may place a strain on your cash flow.

Rising interest rates may dilute the total earnings of this investment product.

Direct shares carry the administration burden of keeping track of paperwork for each stock.

Your direct share portfolio heavily relies on the performance of the Australian stock market. There will be times when the Australian stock market underperforms compared to other asset classes.

In some very minor cases, the listed company may be suspended from the ASX and you may not be able to access these funds until the suspension is removed.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 11 of 37

Goal(s) this strategy meets You would like to protect your family / Estate in the event of disability or death

Implement Life and TPD Insurance

We recommend that each of you apply for the below insurance covers and cancel your insurance policies within your existing super funds:

Implement Life insurance via your SMSF with a benefit amount of $6,000,000 for John and $1,000,000 for Mary.

Implement Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance inside your SMSF with a benefit amount of $1,000,000 Mary. Select ‘Any’ occupation definition because you are currently not working and this is the only available option.

Implement Total & Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance outside of super with a benefit amount of $2,325,000 for John. Select ‘Own’ occupation definition because it is more certain and definitive when it comes to claim-time.

Select a Stepped premium structure as it will be more affordable at the start of the policy however the cost will increase in line with your age.

Select the Premium Waiver option as it waives the premiums payable on your

Life & TPD covers if you are significantly disabled and unable to work for 6 or

more consecutive months.

Through our needs analysis we have modelled the likely financial consequences to you and your family in the unlikely event you were to die prematurely, or were unable to work ever again due to a serious injury or illness which causes total and permanent disability.

Our needs analysis demonstrates that the financial consequences to your family would be very severe.

For this reason, it is our recommendation that increasing your Life and TPD cover to the recommended amount is a prudent risk management strategy. This will ensure that you and your family are protected against the financial consequences of:

Your premature death or diagnosis of a terminal illness; and,

A serious injury or illness which causes Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) and prevents you from working again.

How this strategy meets your objectives

As part of the insurance premiums are paid from your superannuation fund, your disposable income is less affected. It is also tax-effective, as the premiums are tax-deductible to the Trustee of the superannuation fund.

Where the beneficiary is a ‘dependent’, there is no additional tax payable on any life benefit received; do note however that there may be tax payable once the proceeds are invested outside the superannuation environment in their own name (e.g. income tax). ‘Dependent’ in this instance means a spouse, child, financial dependent, or a person who is an interdependent relationship with you.

In the event a TPD benefit is paid, you may choose to receive part, or all, as an income stream, in which case you may be entitled to a 15% tax offset on any taxable component received.

Life and TPD policies can vary in their terms and conditions. Please refer to the product recommendations section for an overview of the features we have recommended.

Risks & disadvantages The recommended TPD amount assumes that you will implement the recommended Income Protection cover, otherwise a much higher amount of TPD cover is required.

You may be subject to premium loadings and/or exclusions.

You may be required to undertake a number of medical assessments and procedures to have your claim approved.

There is a possibility that a claim may not be successful.

For further information regarding this recommendation refer to the following attachments:

Holding insurance through your SMSF

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 12 of 37

Goal(s) this strategy meets You would like to ensure that you and your family are financially protected in the event that you suffer from serious illness

Apply for Trauma Insurance We recommend that you apply for the below insurance covers and cancel your existing Trauma insurance:

Implement Trauma insurance with a benefit amount of $800,000 for John.

Implement Trauma insurance with a benefit amount of $542,000 for Mary.

Select the Reinstatement option because if the full Trauma cover lump sum is

paid out you will be offered the opportunity to reinstate your Trauma insurance

12 months after the claim is paid.

Select a Stepped premium structure because it will be more affordable at the

start of the policy however the cost will increase in line with your age.

Select the Premium Waiver option as it waives the premiums payable on your

Trauma covers if you are significantly disabled and unable to work for 6 or more

consecutive months.

The insurance policy should be held in your own names and paid for through your disposable income.

Trauma policies can vary in their terms and conditions. Please refer to the product recommendations section for an overview of the features we have recommended.

How this strategy meets your objectives

Our needs analysis demonstrates that if you or your family experienced a serious health condition that resulted in unexpected medical expenses and affected your ability to work for up to 2 years, the financial consequences to your family would be severe.

Implementing the recommended level of Trauma insurance would allow you to address immediate medical expenses, maintain existing living expenses, and focus on the task of rehabilitation and recovery.

Health conditions that are often classified as trauma events include cancer, heart attack, and stroke among others. A full listing of the conditions that you would be insured against in the recommended policy can be found in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).

Key benefits of this strategy include:

You receive a lump sum benefit when you suffer a condition specified in your policy regardless of your ability to return to work.

The lump sum benefit can be used for any purpose you choose, such as paying for medical treatment/s or reducing debts.

Owning and paying for the policy in your own name means that you retain control of the policy and no tax will be payable upon payment of the benefit.

Risks & disadvantages The recommended Trauma amount assumes that you have, or will take out, Income Protection cover. If you do not have any Income Protection cover a much higher amount of Trauma cover is required.

Premiums are to be paid from your disposable income which reduces your overall cash flow.

Some less severe conditions attract a partial payment only.

For further information regarding this recommendation refer to the following attachments:

Protecting you and your family

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 13 of 37

Goal(s) this strategy meets To ensure your income is protected in the event that you are unable to work due to temporary illness or disability.

Apply for Income Protection Insurance

We recommend that you implement Income Protection insurance covers and cancel your existing cover:

With a benefit of $14,332 per month (based on John’s annual income of $215,000 including SGC).

Cover at an Agreed Value - This type of policy provides more certainty regarding Income Protection benefits as your salary is assessed at time the policy commences.

Select a benefit with a Waiting Period of 30 days and a Benefit Period ‘to Age 65’ so you can receive benefits up to your presumed retirement age.

Select the SuperSaver option that allows you to cover regular superannuation contributions.

Select a Stepped premium structure because it will be more affordable at the start of the policy however the cost will increase in line with your age.

Held in your own name and paid for through your disposable income.

Income Protection policies can vary in their terms and conditions. Please refer to the product recommendations section for a more detailed explanation of the features we have recommended.

How this strategy meets your objectives

Our needs analysis demonstrates that if your income were interrupted due to a protracted illness or injury, the financial consequences to you and your family would be severe.

With Income Protection cover, up to 75% of your income is replaced if you are unable to work due to illness or injury. So you don't have to worry about covering your existing expenses and can focus on the task of rehabilitation and recovery.

You would begin receiving the monthly benefit if you were unable to return to work beyond the end of the waiting period. Your benefit would continue to be paid until one of the following events happen:

You return to work

The benefit period ends

The policy end-date is reached.

Commencement of the waiting period typically begins on the day your condition is diagnosed by a Doctor. For this reason it is crucial that you visit a medical Doctor immediately if you experience an illness or injury that affects your work capacity. Please

contact our office in the first instance should there be a potential claim. Our job is to assist you in this process.

Key benefits of this strategy include:

Up to 75% of your income is replaced if you are unable to work due to illness or injury.

Where you have a disability that partially affects your work capacity, you may be eligible to a partial disability benefit.

Owning and paying for the policy in your own name means that you retain control of the policy.

The premiums are generally deductible for tax purposes to the policy owner. Please speak to your Accountant should you require more information.

Risks & disadvantages The premiums are paid from your post-tax income which reduces your overall disposable income.

The monthly benefit received in the event of a claim is generally considered as assessable income for tax purposes. The Insurer will pay you the full monthly benefit and it is your responsibility to set aside the amount which is payable to the Australian Taxation Office. Please speak to your Accountant should you require more information.

Protecting you and your family

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 14 of 37

Goal(s) this strategy meets Establish a Will and Power of Attorney to ensure that your Estate is distributed in the manner you wish.

Establish a Will and POA We recommend that you establish a Will and Power of Attorney for each of you with a legal professional.

How this strategy meets your objectives

Having a current and valid Will is the only way of ensuring that your wealth is transferred to the people you would like it to go to once you pass away. Without a Will, your assets will be distributed according to a government formula that may not provide the best result for your family and loved ones.

Key benefits of having a Will:

You can decide now how you would like your assets and possessions to be distributed.

You have peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out once you pass away

You can appoint a guardian for any children under 18 years of age.

You can provide your family with certainty with regards to the distribution of your Estate.

An Enduring Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows a person to act on your behalf if you are unable to take care of your financial matters. An Enduring Power of Attorney is useful to have for times when you cannot manage your financial affairs yourself, such as:

When you are absent for an extended period, such as travelling overseas.

When you have a prolonged illness that prevents you from looking after your day-to-day finances.

In the event of your mental incapacity.

An Enduring Power of Attorney gives you peace of mind that your financial interests will be looked after by someone you have chosen and who you trust.

Risks & disadvantages You should seek independent legal advice to ensure all your Estate planning needs are in order. This is a complex area and I am not a legal practitioner.

Failure to obtain independent legal advice may result in your Estate planning not being structured in an appropriate manner.

The person you grant an Enduring Power of Attorney to may act dishonestly or improperly and you may be placed at a disadvantage as a result of your attorney's actions.

If you cancel or alter your Power of Attorney you will have the responsibility of informing all organisations you deal with otherwise they can continue to operate under the previous arrangement.

The power that is bestowed may be limited to financial matters depending on the state you reside in.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 16 of 37

Alternative Strategies Considered Below are the alternative strategies that we considered before making a final recommendation to you. From the possible strategies that we considered, we have selected the recommended strategy because it is more appropriate your financial situation, needs and goals.

Retaining your current superannuation monies ‘as-is’, however this won’t allow you to invest into shares as you

have specifically mentioned your intention/wish to do.

Self-Funding your potential insurance needs, however this was discounted due to your cashflow being insufficient

at least in the short-term to adequately fund the needs of your family and dependents in the event of sudden

death/injury/accident/disablement.

From the available strategies that we considered, we have selected the recommended strategy because it is appropriate for

your objectives, financial situation and needs and seeks to achieve the goals detailed in the Meeting Your Goals and

Objectives.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 18 of 37

The investment amounts above are subject to change due to market fluctuation in prices. Therefore, the final balance should be invested in proportion to the percentages as shown in the portfolio projection sheets attached to this Statement of Advice.

Portfolio Construction Following is an outline of how your portfolio was constructed. It explains how we selected the individual investments to construct your overall portfolio.

Share Portfolio Use the rollover monies of $150,000 and borrow an additional $150,000 to invest into a share portfolio through Macquarie Equity Level. Please refer to the attached appendix for further details, i.e. Cashflow summary, dividend yields.

Cash At this stage, we’d recommend that you retain the monies referred to above in your SMSF’s Cash Account (approximately $49,055) in Cash to cover various expenses such as insurance premiums in the SMSF.

Macquarie Equity Lever - Structure of the Investment Equity Lever is a Limited Recourse structured product that allows investors to purchase certain ASX-listed securities (called the Underlying Securities) from Macquarie in two or more instalment payments. Instalment Receipts are a permitted investment for Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) provided the investment complies with the fund's investment strategy and is in the best interests of its members. Each time the investor purchases an Underlying Security via Equity Lever, they are acquiring an Instalment Receipt. Individual Instalment Receipt holdings of each investor are consolidated under their Equity Lever Facility for purposes of reporting and risk management. By investing in Instalment Receipts, an investor can leverage their exposure to the performance of a particular Underlying Security by paying only a portion of the Purchase Price upfront. During the term of the investment, the investor is entitled to all capital growth as well as rights and entitlements to ordinary dividends, income distributions and franking credits (subject to eligibility and own circumstances). Ordinary dividends are generally directed to reduce the Final Instalment on the Instalment Receipts. Instalment Receipts in Equity Lever are “unlisted”, which means that they cannot be traded on the ASX or any stock exchange.

Macquarie Cash Management Account When you set-up a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), you will need to open a cash account in your fund's name so that you can accept contributions and rollovers of super benefits. A Macquarie Cash Management Account is well suited for the management of SMSFs because it acts as a central source for the movement of money in and out of the multiple cash streams.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 19 of 37

Asset Allocation Your recommended asset allocation is based on your risk profile. For more information on your risk profile please refer to the ‘Your tolerance to investment risk’ section.

Asset allocation is a term used to describe how much of your money is invested in different asset classes. Our investment research has shown that consistent long-term returns can be enhanced through a diversified portfolio that contains a selection of asset classes.

Your Actual and Recommended Asset Allocation

The chart and table below show the asset allocation of your portfolio once my recommendations in this Statement of Advice have been implemented. It also shows how this asset allocation compares to the benchmark allocation appropriate for your risk profile.

To ensure the Fund’s portfolio properly reflects the investment strategy, it is important that it is closely aligned to the Fund’s

benchmark asset allocation. Ideally, the portfolio should be allocated and remain within 10% of the member’s benchmark asset

allocation in all asset classes.

The recommended portfolio does not match the Fund’s benchmark asset allocation within a + or – 10% range in all asset

classes. However you have stated a preference in particular for Shares as an investment asset, and therefore while we have

attempted to create a well-diversified portfolio, as you can see in the graph above, the resulting underlying assets of this

portfolio will be heavily weighted towards Australian Share and Cash and subsequently underweight in all the other asset

classes. Following discussions you have stated you are comfortable and happy with this.

Decline to offer you cover due to your personal or employment circumstance Important information on applying for personal insurance During the insurance application process you have a duty of disclose to the Insurer.

Products to be Replaced This section explains the benefits, consequences and costs of our recommendation to replace your existing product(s) with new product(s).

We have recommended that you replace one or more of your existing products with new products based on our research into the advantages and disadvantages associated with the replacement. But before you replace any products, it is important that you understand the implications of cancelling. Outlined below is a comparison between your existing and recommended products to help you understand the implication of replacing any products. This includes information on:

Any charges which you may incur as a result of the product replacement.

Any benefits which you may lose (even if only temporarily) or gain if you accept my recommendation.

Information about any other significant consequences we are aware of.

Investment Platform Replacement - Costs of Replacement The table below shows the financial consequences of replacing your existing products with the recommended products as well as the total ongoing cost comparison between your existing and recommended products. You should note that the ongoing cost comparison is based on a like-for-like comparison. As your current asset

allocation does not reflect your risk profile, we have provided a cost comparison based on an assumed portfolio in line with your preferred risk profile.

charge is usually reflected in the difference between the entry and exit unit price and commonly referred to as the buy/sell spread. Detailed descriptions of the above product features can be obtained from each relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).

Before you decide to implement our advice, you should consider the following:

Reasons for Replacing Your Existing Investment Platform Before you decide to implement our advice, you should consider why we recommended the replacement. Outlined below are the key reasons for recommending that you replace your existing super funds to a Self-Managed Super Fund:

You have a greater degree of control and flexibility over your superannuation.

You have the ability to invest in assets not traditionally available within the superannuation environment, such as direct property or alternative assets.

You are able to borrow to invest under a Limited Recourse Loan Arrangement.

You can obtain a more comprehensive insurance policy in the SMSF to protect you against an insured event. Please see our recommendation on insurance for more information.

You have the scope to purchase business commercial property and lease it back to your business, should you be in such a position in future.

You can implement tailored Estate planning strategies within your SMSF.

Statement of Advice for John & Mary Smith Page 25 of 37

Consequences of Replacing Your Existing Investment Platform

You will lose the following benefits by transferring to the recommended product. We believe that the benefits gained outweigh the benefits lost:

The potential loss of tax benefits (i.e. franking credits) could affect the amount of tax you may be required to pay.

As a result of redeeming your existing products you may crystallise a capital loss / incur a capital gain. You should seek tax advice on your entire Capital Gains Tax position.

Time out of the market during the transaction phase may result in the potential loss of returns on your investments during this time period.

Liquidity issues may arise which may impact your ability to access this capital during that time.

There is no guarantee that the replacement product will outperform your existing investment.

Investment Option Replacement We have recommended a change in your underlying investment options. In making this recommendation we have, where possible, attempted to:

Align your asset allocation with your preferred risk profile

Invest your portfolio in higher Lonsec rated funds An analysis of our recommendation is as follows:

The potential for increased volatility resulting from a higher exposure to growth assets.

Further Explanation of This Advice This section contains additional detail to further your understanding of this advice.

Risk Profiles

Your Current Risk Tolerance Profile The level of shares and property in your portfolio is dependent on your willingness to tolerate short-term price fluctuations (rises and falls) in order to achieve longer-term growth. Your risk profile will depend on a number of factors including:

Your investment goals

Your investment time frame

Your tolerance to investment risk The following table summarises the nature of each risk profile and the potential return expectations.

Risk Profile Defensive Conservative Moderate Balanced Growth High Growth

Investment term 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years 6 years 7 years

Net return objective CPI + 1.5% CPI + 2% CPI + 2.5% CPI + 3% CPI + 3.5% CPI + 4%

Growth vs. Income 0 / 100% 27.5 / 72.5% 47.5 / 52.5% 67.5 / 32.5% 87.5 / 12.5% 100 / 0%

Probability of a negative return* 0.3% 6.3% 9.7% 13.5% 16.5% 18.1%

Please note that the return objective is an average estimate only, over the above Investment term. From the information completed within your FNA and from the discussions during our meeting we have determined your risk profile as High Growth.

As a High Growth investor, your main focus is maximising investment returns. You have a high tolerance to any short-term investment market fluctuations, and are comfortable with the notion that over the long-term the best way to maximise returns is through growth assets. As such you would feel comfortable with a more aggressive portfolio structure (e.g. exposure to Australian and international shares).

Although history is not an indication of future performance, the pattern of higher investment returns with greater fluctuations, including periods of negative returns, is typical of a High Growth investment option. Exposure to growth assets of Australian and International Equities will allow for investment growth over the long-term. However, there are many periods of short-term uncertainty which need to be understood.

Portfolio characteristics

Suggested minimum time frame for investment Seven years

Overall asset mix High

Level of short-term investment risk High

Return objective (relative to other investment strategies) Growth (100%)

A High Growth investment option aims to maximise returns with a high level of volatility. It is therefore best suited to those individuals who are prepared for short-term fluctuation in their investments.
