The team at Morgans Lismore stays informed on the vast number of personal insurance products in today’s market. We can provide you with advice to help you select the right cover to protect you in the event you need it.

Half of all Australians over the age of 30 will suffer a major illness that can lead to a long-term disability, and consequently, a long-term loss of income.

Could you afford to take several months off work without pay? If you are self-employed, could your business survive if you weren't around? If the answer is no, then it is important to look at protecting yourself against these risks.

Type of protection

Life insurance

The most common component of a risk insurance solution is life insurance. How it works is straight forward – in the event you die, your beneficiaries (spouse, children, business partners, whomever is nominated) will receive a lump sum payment.

This could be any amount up to millions of dollars to cover all loans and debts you may have, and to cover the future well being of your loved ones.

Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) insurance

TPD insurance covers you in the event you're totally and permanently disabled and unable to work due to illness or injury. In the event this occurs, you will receive a lump sum payment.

Income protection

Income protection provides income replacement options to protect your lifestyle, assets and independence if you suffer illness or injury. It will provide a monthly payment of up to 75% of your income while you are unable to work due to accident or sickness.

Trauma insurance

Trauma insurance protects you from serious medical conditions and illnesses. You will receive a lump sum payment if you are diagnosed with or suffer a life-threatening illness, allowing you to concentrate on what you really need at this time – your recovery.

Business expense insurance

Business expense insurance covers any ongoing expenses of your business, such as rent, salaries, electricity and loan repayments, or bringing in a locum to run the business while the primary income generator is unable to work due to sickness or injury.

If you are the primary income generator in a small business, or if you are self employed, you should consider this sort of cover.

How can we help?

Given the vast number of personal insurance products on the market, it can be difficult deciding on the right cover for your situation.

It is our job to understand every detail of all available products so that we can recommend policies and strategies that suit your individual needs and budget. We can also advise you on ways that your policy can be structured to save you money.

Margin lending is borrowing money which you use, in addition to your own money, to invest in financial products such as shares and managed funds.

Essentially, you are "leveraging" the value of your investments through borrowing.

You must have adequate cash or existing shares to use as security for the loan. Only certain shares can be used as security and the amount that can be borrowed will vary for different shares.

Benefits

• Margin lending can give you an opportunity to increase the size of your investments and to diversify your investments. Diversifying your portfolio can reduce your level of risk in the market.
• It can also provide an opportunity to increase the gross return on your own equity by achieving excess returns over tax and borrowing costs.
• Borrowing also allows you to invest at a time you want to invest, rather than having to wait until you have saved enough. This can help you avoid missing out on investment opportunities.
• Interest on borrowed funds is generally tax deductible provided the funds are invested in Australian assets for income-producing purposes.

Please note: Deriving a tax benefit should not be your core focus. You should seek qualified tax advice from a registered tax agent so that you fully understand your personal tax position.

Borrowing limits

Margin lenders generally only allow you to borrow up to a certain value, or percentage, of the shares you wish to buy.

Commonly, limits are set at a maximum of 75% (known as the Loan-to- Value Ratio or LVR) of the value of the shares (less if the share is more speculative or risky). This means you have to make up the difference (ie 25%) with your own cash or existing shares.

This difference is referred to as the “margin”; hence the term “margin lending”.

Borrowing risks

Any borrowing strategy should always be approached with caution.

While borrowing to invest has the ability to leverage returns from investments, it also heightens investment risk. This is because you have a greater amount invested, which will magnify your losses if returns are negative.

Margin lending should be implemented as a long-term investment strategy to allow time to overcome any market volatility and for the leveraging effects to work.

Contact us

Borrowing to invest can be an effective long term strategy for wealth creation as long as you understand the risks and the impact gearing may have on your overall returns.

Contact your Morgans Mackay adviser to seek advice on whether utilising a margin lending strategy is appropriate for you.

New investment opportunities are regularly made available to our clients across all asset classes and industry sectors through company IPOs and capital raisings. View our latest offers here.

• Advanced Transition to Retirement (TTR): Leverage TTR rules to release equity or transition out of your business smoothly without triggering heavy tax events.
• Self-Managed Fund Evaluation: Receive expert guidance on the merits of shifting to a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) for direct property or share control.
• Deductible Contribution Matching: Manage volatile seasonal business income by timing your deductible super contributions effectively.
• Flexible Pension Risk Management: Maintain direct control over your investment risk and return levels while drawing down an account-based pension.
• Centrelink Optimisation Streams: Structure your retirement pension rolling points to ensure you receive the most generous Centrelink treatment available.

More and more people are realising the advantages of making their own investment decisions and taking control of their retirement strategy.

An increasingly popular way of doing this is by setting up a self managed superannuation fund (SMSF).

An SMSF gives members of the fund control over specific investment choices involving their superannuation. They can tailor their own investment strategies and select specific assets such as listed securities, managed investments, cash and term deposits, international equities, instalment warrants and so on.

How can we help?

Morgans offers a variety of services for SMSFs, including structure, setup, advice, rollovers, investments, administration and compliance.

We have investment advisers who specialise in superannuation and a technical research team that provides updates and support on the latest in superannuation developments.

Our Services

SMSF administration & investment reporting

Our Wealth+ SMSF Solution is an all-encompassing investment administration and SMSF administration service that allows you to take advantage of the flexibility and control of an SMSF, but outsource the work involved in establishing and running your fund.

Your SMSF investments are managed through our Wealth+ Managed Portfolio Service, which provides you with comprehensive reporting on your fund portfolio and investments, in addition to your annual member statement.

Investment reporting

Clients and their accountants can benefit from our Wealth+ Managed Portfolio Service, which is a reporting facility that we offer for investment administration. This service makes investing easier by collecting and recording all investment information/documentation, however SMSF trustees will need to arrange annual administration of the SMSF using an accountant or administrator.

SMSF administration

Our SMSF administration only service provides fund administration without the portfolio administration. Please contact us or your Morgans Lismore adviser to find out more.

More information

If you would like to find out more before contacting one of our advisers, the Morgans technical research team has produced An essential guide to taking control of your super, which provides further detail on SMSFs.
