What members say
about our advice

"Larry has changed my life and I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to meet with him and learn how to take control of my finances. Before, I didn’t feel like I had things under control but now I feel empowered and overall I have a big sense of ‘I’m going to be OK.’ It’s been really impactful for me and I would like to say a massive thank you to him for having the patience to help me understand how things work and what they mean – he was so helpful when explaining things."

- Hostplus member

"Preeti’s professionalism, eloquence and patience were remarkable, opening new avenues for us and providing invaluable peace of mind."

- Hostplus member

"Bahar was excellent! She explained our financial plan very clearly. As a result of her advice we are in a much better place financially. Her advice re: paying off our mortgage has removed a huge financial burden off our shoulders, and made retiring much more stress-free."

- Hostplus member

"Tom strikes the perfect balance between personable and professional service. I appreciate his time to ‘meet me where I’m at’ and demystify some of the complexities of personal financial planning. Other than the tangible benefits of having a financial plan to execute, I feel better. Thanks."

Skip list of accordians

At Hostplus, we have teams of superannuation advisers and retirement planners. Both hold financial planning qualifications and are ready to provide members with expert advice and assistance. So, what’s the difference between the services provided? 

Our superannuation advisers aim to empower and help you understand the basics of your Hostplus super account whereas our retirement planners specialise in retirement planning tailored to your holistic personal situation which can also take into account assets, investments and debts outside of your super.

Our financial planners can help you with:

Superannuation: Providing advice on how much you’ll need during retirement to live the lifestyle you want, as well advice about contributions and investment allocation.

Retirement planning: Developing tax-effective strategies, including how you might transition to retirement.

Wealth creation: Building wealth through super, as well as via investments outside of super.

Retirement budgeting: Maintaining required cashflow, income and debt management.

Government benefits: Taking advantage of any government benefits, such as Centrelink entitlements.

Insurance: Getting the right insurance for your life stage to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Estate planning: Ensuring your money goes where you intend when you die.

Aged Care: Considering aged care options for yourself or a loved one. 

Downsizer contributions: Helping you to contribute to super through downsizing your home.  

Centrelink Home Access Equity Scheme: Using equity in your home to provide income.  

Making small changes today could make a big difference at retirement and our superannuation advisers can help with a range of limited personal advice, including:

  • Choosing investment options: We'll ask you a few simple questions to help guide which investment option is best suited for you.
  • Boosting your super through additional contributions: If you've got surplus income, received a payrise at work or just received an inheritance, these additional contributions could work harder for you in your Hostplus super account. Even the smallest of contributions now can have a significant impact in retirement, plus you could save tax along the way.
  • Insurance: You protect your car, house, pets and more – why not protect yourself and your assets?

For a fee, our Superannuation Advisers can also help you with:

  • Insurance outside your Hostplus account: We can help ensure that you’re not doubling up on insurance cover held, including comparing your external insurance policy with Hostplus.     
  • Consolidating your super: We can help to streamline your super with advice on consolidating multiple super accounts into one.   
  • First Home Super Saver Scheme (FHSSS): Dreaming of home ownership? We can help you use the government’s FHSSS to purchase your first home.  

There is no additional charge for tailored advice* provided by SuperSmart, or from our superannuation advisers. However, the advice you receive is limited to contributions, insurance and investment options relating to your Hostplus account. For all other personal advice, including retirement, advice fees are payable.  

*Members with Term Allocated Pension, Lifetime Pension, Defined Benefit Pension, nil balances, non-standard investment options and some Maritime Contributory Accumulation members cannot access SuperSmart financial advice services.

Yes, Hostplus can provide this advice for a fee.  

 

Hostplus financial planners are salaried employees. They do not receive commission.
