This week Nicola and Di are back with the second episode of our monthly financial series, Over The Money Fence with Roger Montgomery. This series aims to help you take control of your finances with clarity and confidence. Roger is the Founder and Chairman of Montgomery Investment Management, has over 30 years’ investing experience and is a highly respected financial commentator featuring on various ABC programs, as well as his popular column in The Australian newspaper. He is also the author of best-selling investment guidebook Value.able. In this conversation we chat about the sandwich generation - women in their 50s and 60s who have the dual responsibility of caring for their elderly parents, and trying to support their adult children. We talk about the unique challenges this group faces when it comes to their finances and Roger has some calm and reassuring advice. Roger takes us through the difference between a financial adviser and a fund manager, and why it’s a good idea to always take your time and get a second opinion. He gives very practical advice for how you can find a good financial adviser to speak to about your finances (listed below), and why it’s in your interests to do so. Roger also talks about the importance of having conversations with your children and family before it’s too late, about your will and the plans you have for your money after you’re gone. Talk through the plans together and come to some agreements, so there aren’t any unnecessary disputes. As Roger says in this episode - it’s very dangerous to write in a will that you’ll leave everything to your children equally. Tune into the episode to find out why. Come and see Roger speak in person at our Over The Back Fence live event, happening on the 19th of June at the Woolly Bay Hotel in Sydney.

With over 25 years of experience in financial services, Kelly has a passion for helping employers optimize their retirement plans and empower their employees to achieve financial security and retire with confidence. Combining financial expertise with wellness coaching, Kelly enjoys crafting comprehensive strategies that support employees throughout their health and wealth journey. She holds key certifications in fiduciary retirement plan management (AIF, QPFC, CRPS) as well as functional health and wellness coaching (NBC-HWC, A-CFHC), enabling her to implement a whole-person strategy in retirement plan management.She has also been recognized twice by The Financial Times, in September 2015 & 2016, as one of the “Top 401 Financial Advisers” in the 401(k) field and by NAPA, the National Association of Plan Advisors, as a 2017 and 2019 Top Woman Advisor All-Star in the retirement plan industry.In this episode, Eric and Kelly Majdan discuss:Signs of success in financial wellness programsUnderstanding employees' needs The true measure of financial wellness program success Focus on the people, not the numbers Key Takeaways:Financial wellness programs should expect 5-15% engagement initially, which is actually a sign of success, not failure. The goal is to help employees move through different stages of behavioral change at their own pace.Understanding employees' needs is critical - start with a comprehensive survey to identify what financial topics are most important to your workforce, and design programs that meet them where they are in their financial journey.Measuring success goes beyond traditional metrics. Look at engagement indicators like webinar attendance, article clicks, survey participation, and gradually expanding program participation over 2-3 years.The most important approach is remembering that wellness programs are about people, not just numbers. Connect with employees personally, provide hope through success stories, and create supportive, ongoing resources that recognize individuals are at different stages of financial readiness.“Remember, you're dealing with people. Remember that they're not participants, they're not employees, they're not co-workers, they're not associates, they're people. Connect with them where they are and see them as the people that they are in front of you.” - Kelly MajdanConnect with Kelly Majdan:Website: https://www.onedigital.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellymajdan/ Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: contact@90northllc.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information and content of this podcast is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.

Is putting property into your SMSF a good idea, or could it be too risky? SMSF advisor Liam Shorte from Sonas Wealth joins us today to explore this hot topic, giving practical insights on the benefits of more control, tax advantages, and the hidden costs and risks that SMSF investors often miss. We explore the appeal of property investment within an SMSF for those aiming to diversify their retirement strategies, with Liam highlighting both the potential benefits and risks involved. While property can offer control and growth, Liam has seen many investors fall prey to unqualified advice and costly mistakes. The key, he says, is understanding the rules and avoiding schemes marketed as “one-stop-shops”—these setups often come with high risks and may not align with an investor's long-term goals. We also emphasise the importance of maintaining balance within an SMSF portfolio, ensuring that there's adequate liquidity to support flexibility as life stages and retirement plans evolve. Compliance is another major factor, as SMSFs face strict ATO oversight. From penalties to complex reporting, there's no margin for error, and Liam illustrates this with examples from clients who have successfully coursed through these requirements by investing thoughtfully, like buying commercial property to lease back to a family business. Throughout the episode, Liam shares insights on managing SMSF property investment with smart, tailored strategies. His practical advice provides a framework for building an SMSF that fits your financial goals without overloading on risks or overlooking critical tax and compliance obligations. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:02 - Who is Liam Shorte? 01:49 - What is a fellow SMSF specialist advisor? 02:43 - What is an SMSF? 04:52 - Biggest risks in handling SMSF funds for different retirement stages 06:14 - How to manage trustee disagreements in SMSF strategy setting 08:33 - Has competition shifted SMSF drivers from fee savings to investment options? 12:24 - Key compliance and cost factors to think about when starting an SMSF 16:11 - Are people finally realising the full potential of super contributions? 19:31 - The implications of investing in property through super for younger investors 24:04 - Is an SMSF right for you? Who should consider it? 27:24 - Are women better investors than men? 33:21 - The dangers of focusing solely on residential property in an SMSF 35:36 - Mitigating the risks of having an unbalanced SMSF portfolio heavily focused on property 42:11 - Common mistakes investors make with residential property in their super 51:36 - Liam Shorte's property dumbo About Our Guest: Liam Shorte, a Fellow SMSF Specialist Advisor™ and Financial Planner with Sonas Wealth, brings 30 years of experience across Australia, Ireland, the UK, and the Middle East.

A Clare Financial Advisor is cautioning that the latest recommended cut to interest rates won't be a silver bullet for first time buyers. It comes as the European Central Bank has slashed the rate for the third time this year, to leave it at 3.25%. The latest 0.25% cut effectively means a consumer holding a tracker mortgage worth €200,000, will save €25 per month, however the decision to pass the saving on, is at the discretion of the bank. Tommy Corbett from Carey-Corbett Financial Solutions in Ennis says it will all depend on inflation.

How to pick a financial adviser?  It's one of the most common questions for investors...but a more realistic question is: Should you even bother?  Another valid issue to ponder is whether the adviser wants you in the first place?  One in six clients were cut from the client lists of financial advisers last year. Many advisers will not admit it, but they only want 'sophisticated investors' with $2.5m to spend or else an annual income of $250,000 plus.  Author and adviser Jacqui Clarke joins wealth editor James Kirby in this episode.   In today's show, we cover: * How advisers pick their clients  * When advice costs too much to add value  * Key questions you must ask  * The benefits of becoming a 'sophisticated investor'    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
