Your Approach to InvestingWhen establishing your approach to investing, we have considered a number of factors in order to make an assessment, as to the combination of asset classes over which you would invest. This is referred to as your Risk Profile.

Paul, based on the information we have discussed, your Risk Profile is High Growth:

The High Growth portfolio is suitable for investors, seeking a higher return investment. They are prepared to invest for a long term and tolerate extended periods of negative returns provided they may benefit from higher returns. The High Growth portfolio will have a large allocation of around 77% to assets such as shares and property. Capital is not guaranteed and there will be large fluctuation and some negative returns from year to year. There is a significant risk of a portfolio decreasing in value in the short term although this is substantially reduced for investments over the recommended minimum investment term of over ten years.

Other Background Information

Paul, you are currently working full time as a retail assistant in a lighting store whilst you also study full time at University. You live in a mortgaged property with your mum but you both have separate finances and you are seeking advice for your protection needs only, should these circumstances change you are encouraged to come back for a review of your protection needs.

You currently have seven superannuation funds, some of these with a default level of Death and TPD cover.

You have a number of non-deductible debts, two personal loans and two credit cards; you are working at playing them off as soon as possible. You have personal loan protection on both of your personal loans which has been funded into the loan for next 7 years.

My advice

The advice I agree to provide

Page 13: Assignment Financial Planning

My AnalysisMy analysis has revealed:

You current debt obligation are as follows:

Loan Type Secured against Loan Balance Loan LimitWestpac Home Loan Principal residence $180,600 $180,600Westpac Personal Loan Car $13,000 $13,000Westpac Investment Loan Unsecured $10,000 $10,000Total $203,600 $203,600

My advice also includes recommendations on the appropriate level of insurance required to cover these debts in the event of illness, injury and death. Please refer to the insurance recommendations section for further details.

Paul, you currently have seven separate superannuation accounts. Both industry funds and personal accounts and some have the default level of insurance attached. This cover is age based and will decrease over time as the premiums will remain the same. You are currently over insured for death cover as you have cover in your super accounts as well as through your Westpac Future Cover.

From our discussions we have established a large gap in your disability insurance needs. You currently have no income protection which is important for you to be able to maintain the lifestyle that you currently have.

Cash flow is important to you and you want to fund as much of your insurance through superannuation so that your monthly cash flow is not greatly affected.

The current difference between stepped and level premiums for insurance is not large and it is an ideal time to lock in your premiums based on your current income needs to ensure that the insurance remains affordable into future.

These funds will be administered within the BT Foundation Portfolio SuperWrap PSP structure.

Advance Wholesale High growth Multi-Blend

The Fund’s objective is to provide superior total returns (before fees and taxes) over the long term through capital growth by investing in growing assets.

The Fund aims to invest primarily in Australian and international shares with some exposure to property. The Fund’s exposure to these asset classes will be obtained primarily by investing into our sector specific funds. The Fund may also hold assets directly, including derivatives, currency and other unit trusts. For more information on this products please refer to BT Foundation Portfolio Wrap PDS.

Reasons

I believe the advice is appropriate to you as:

The recommended superannuation product best suits your needs as it offers flexi-linking for both life and TPD cover. This allows you to hold one insurance policy but hold each individual benefit where it is most tax effective. It also provide you with ease of cash flow, allowing you to structure your lump sum insurance covers and most of your income protection through your superannuation.

By consolidating your superannuation into one fund you will have ease of management, one statement showing all of your retirement savings and a portfolio that is in line with your investment objectives.

Investing in a single superannuation fund provides the following benefits:

Page 18: Assignment Financial Planning

Other Factors

As part of determining whether my advice is appropriate to you, you should also consider:

You should note that you may lose any death. TPD and salary continuance cover you may have in the funds from which you are rolling out.

Funds invested within superannuation are not accessible until you can meet a condition of release. Changing the underlying investments or redeeming from this investment prior to the estimated

investment time frame may mean you are exposed to volatility risks and you may redeem the funds at a loss.

For each of the products recommended, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for further information about the key product features and significant risks associated with investing in that product.

As a result of replacing your existing Mercer, AXA, Ausfund, Tasplan and BT Super for Life accounts with the recommended BT Foundation Portfolio Super Wrap PSP, you will experience the following loss of benefits and other significant consequences:

Funds invested within superannuation are not accessible until you meet a condition of release. It can take time to exit your existing portfolio and enter into the recommended portfolio. During this

time, your funds may be invested in cash. This will temporarily reduce your potential for capital growth, compared with investing in line with your risk profile.

You should not cancel your existing insurance cover until you have been notified that the recommended replacement cover is in force. This will ensure that you are not exposed to a period of time with no cover.

By replacing your existing Mercer Super you will forfeit life insurance cover of $210,120. By replacing your existing Mercer Super you will forfeit total and permanent disablement insurance

cover of $210,120. By replacing your existing REST super you will forfeit life insurance cover of $517,000. By replacing your existing Tasplan Super you will forfeit life insurance cover of $10,800. Your existing superannuation fund offers members access to a range of discounts including banking

and/or general insurance services. You will no longer have a access to these benefits. Your existing Mercer superannuation fund enables you to access 35 different investment options. The

number of investment options available through the recommended fund is less than your existing investment.

Your existing AXA superannuation fund enables you to access 17 different investment options. The number of investment options available through the recommended fund is less than your existing investment.

Your existing REST superannuation fund enables you to access 13 different investment options. The number of investment options available through the recommended fund is less than your existing investment.

The recommended investment aims to achieve capital growth over your desired investment horizon in line with your Risk Profile. Therefore, our recommendation increases the potential volatility of your investment, as compared to your Mercer, AXA, REST, Tasplan, Ausfund superannuation accounts.

An exit fee of $80 is payable when exiting the Tasplan Super fund. An exit fee of $29 is payable when exiting the AXA Super fund. An exit fee of $148.65 is payable when exiting the Mercer Super fund.

Income protection insurance provides the following monthly benefits in the event that you are unable to work due to illness or injury:

Income Protection Paul ($)80.00% of salary (including superannuation contributions)

$2,910

Income Protection Monthly Benefit Required $0

I have recommended that you take out additional life cover up to the same level as your TPD cover for the following reasons:

The recommended product provider does not allow applications for TPD cover to exceed the level of life cover.

It is more cost-effective to increase your life cover, compared to implementing standalone life and TPD insurance policies.

I have recommended the ‘any occupation’ option to your TPD TPD insurance because:

The ‘any occupation’ option may provide a TPD benefit if the insured person is unable to ever perform any occupation for which they are reasonably suited by education, training or experience.

As your TPD insurance is within superannuation, you may not be able to meet a condition of release and gain access to your benefits under an ‘own occupation’ policy.

Based on your occupation, you are not eligible for an ’own occupation’ TPD benefit.

I have recommended that you utilize the Flexible Linking Plus option for your Term Life/ TPD/Trauma insurance for the following reasons:

By using the flexible linking plus option, you will hold your living (or trauma) insurance, together with any other benefits under the policies that may not meet a condition of release, outside of the superannuation. This means your living (or trauma) insurance benefit will be paid to you personally on claim.

The living (or trauma) insurance is linked to your policies held within super under the flexible linking option, meaning the premiums are more cost efficient than if the living (or trauma) insurance were to be held as a standalone policy.

The impact of insurance premiums on your personal cashflow is reduced, as some of your insurance cover is held within superannuation and funded by your superannuation balance.

I have recommended the TPD buy back option on your life and TPD insurance because:

Page 23: Assignment Financial Planning

The TPD buy back feature allows you to reinstate your death benefit 14 days after a TPD benefit claim has been paid, by the amount that was paid.

Reinstating the benefit will ensure that you continue to hold life insurance if you become totally and permanently disabled, without having to provide further evidence of health, occupation or pastimes.

I have recommended the Living Reinstatement option on your living (or trauma) insurance because: The living reinstatement benefit allows you reinstate your living benefit 12 months after a

claim has been paid, by the mount that was paid. Reinstating the benefit will provide you ongoing living (or trauma) insurance cover, even

after a claim has been made, without having to provide further evidence of health, occupation or pastimes.

I have recommended a waiting period 14 days for your income protection because: You have confirmed that you can meet your living expenses for up to 6 weeks without your

income. I have taken into account that policy benefits are generally paid monthly in arrears.

I have recommended a benefit period of Up to Age 65 for your income protection because: The benefit period selected will provide sufficient income protection in the case that you are

unable to work due to illness or injury, until your retirement at age 65.

I have recommended take out the Income Protection (own occupation IP) feature for your income protection cover because:

Income Protection (own occupation IP) will protect you against a loss of your income, should you become unable to work in your usual occupation.

I have recommended the endorsed agreed value policy because: Full financial underwriting will be done at application stage, meaning no further financials

will be requested or reviewed at claim time. The policy provides certainty in the amount payable, as the monthly benefit is agreed at the

time the policy is commenced. The benefit payable will not be affected by any future reduction in income. The benefit payable under an endorsed agreed value policy is based on an amount agreed at

commencement. The agreed amount may be adjusted for movements in the Consumer Price Index to take into

account inflation.

I have recommended that you select the Superannuation Contribution Option for your income protection insurance. This is appropriate because:

In the event of total disability, your income protection policy will provide an additional benefit that is intended to replace your current employer superannuation guarantee contributions.

The monthly insured amount is generally calculated as 75% of your monthly earnings, however with the Superannuation Contribution Option, you will be able to insure an additional flat 5% of your monthly earnings.

You will be able to continue your superannuation contributions, even if you are unable to work due to total disability.

The Superannuation Contribution Option allows you to have a monthly insured amount higher than usually available.

I have recommended the ‘Level 65’ premium option for your term life, TPD, living (or trauma) and income protection insurance benefits because:

Page 24: Assignment Financial Planning

You have a long term view to protection and I have determined that the cost of the level premium option is less than the equivalent insurance with stepped premiums.

You advised that you intent to retire at age 65, and intent to cancel your insurance at this time. You are seeking certainly in cost and have stated a preference for insurance premiums that do not

increase significantly each year.

I have recommended the Accident Benefit for the following reasons:

Your income will be covered during the waiting period in the event of an accident which causes you to become incapacitated.

On cessation of the benefit, coverage can continue under your income protection policy.

The benefits of insuring though the recommended BT Protection Plans, as opposed to your existing Tasplan Life/TPD are as follows:

The BT Protection Plans allows you to apply for insurance cover that meets your requirements. Your existing Tasplan Super does not offer sufficient insurance cover due to levels of life and TPD insurance reducing each year, CPI indexing not offered on insurance.

By implementing more than one BT Protection Plan insurance policy, you will quality for a 5% multi-policy discount (excluding policy fee and stamp duty).

The benefits of insuring through the recommended BT Protection, as opposed to your existing REST Life are as follows:.

The BT Protection Plans allows you to apply for insurance cover that meets your requirement. Your existing REST Super does not offer sufficient insurance cover due to levels of life and TPD insurance reducing each year , CPI indexing not offered on insurance.

By implementing more than one BT Protection Plan insurance policy, you will quality for a 5% multi-policy discount (excluding policy fee and stamp duty).

The benefits of insuring through the recommended The BT Protection Plans, as opposed to your existing Mercer Life/TPD are as follows:

The BT Foundation SuperWrap allows you to apply for insurance cover that meets your requirement. Your existing Mercer Super does not offer sufficient insurance cover due to levels of life and TPD insurance reducing each year, TPD waiting period 6 months compared to 3, CPT indexing not offered on insurances. No income protection is provided and level premiums are not available.

By implementing more than one BT Protection Plan insurance policy, you will quality for a 5% multi-policy discount (excluding policy fee and stamp duty).

The benefits of insuring through the recommended The BT Protection Plans, as opposed to your existing Westpac Future Cover Life are as follows:

The BT Protection Plans allows you to apply for insurance cover that meets your requirements. Your existing Westpac Future Super does not offer sufficient insurance cover due to levels of life cover is fixed at the current level, it can be decreased by application but only increased to a maximum of $750,000 upon application and underwriting. Level premiums are not offered.

By implementing more than one BT Protection Plan insurance policy, you will quality for a 5% multi-policy discount (excluding policy fee and stamp duty).

Objective Strategy Solutions Reasons Other Factors

Page 25: Assignment Financial Planning

As part of determining whether my advice is appropriate to you, you should also consider:

Before you enter into a contract for insurance, you have to disclose to the insurer every matter which you know, or could be reasonably expected to know, is relevant to the insurer’s decision to issue you with an insurance policy and if so, on what terms. You have the same duty to disclose those matters to the insurer before you renew, extend, vary or re-instate a contract of insurance. Your duty of disclosure applies to your application, personal statement and any other form requesting information and applies from the time you complete your application to the time the insurer accepts your application and issues a policy document. If any relevant information changes between the time that you application is submitted and the time the insurer issues the policy to you, you must notify the insurer.

You should be aware that if you do not fully disclose all relevant and material information to the Insurer as required, the Insurer may be entitled to reduce their liability under your insurance contract in respect of a claim, or cancel your insurance contract.

For electronic submission of insurance applications, you acknowledge that you will be required to provide declarations in your application for insurance and personal statement. You should carefully consider each declaration before signing and confirming to me that the declarations are correct. You should be aware that you are legally bound by all declarations are correct, before I submit your insurance documentation electronically.

You may not be able to claim under the recommended policy in the event of death by suicide for a period of 13 months from the commencement of the policy.

You will not be able to claim under the recommended policy in the event of becoming totally and permanently disabled due to a suicide attempt.

You may not be able to claim under the recommended policy for any trauma of injury due to a suicide attempt.

There may be exclusions for specific activities or illnesses depending upon your family history or personal situation.

The premiums quoted in the fees and charges section may vary depending upon your family history or personal situation.

The insurer will require you to complete a personal statement and to provide evidence of your income for underwriting purposes. The insurer may also request additional information once the personal statement and income details have been provided.

Where I have recommended insurance within superannuation, the subsequent closure of your superannuation account could mean that your insurance cover will be lost, unless you are eligible, and wish to transfers, your insurance cover to a separate policy outside of the superannuation environment.

For any insurance benefits paid into Superannuation, there may be assessments for superannuation environment.

If a claim is made on your Term Life policy and the insurer agrees to pay the claim, the income will be paid either to i) your nominated beneficiary (and not form part of your estate) or ii) your estate and be distributed in accordance with the instructions in your Will.

If a claim is made on your TPD policy and the insurer agrees to pay the claim, the benefit will be paid direct to you (i.e. it cannot be paid to a nominated beneficiary)

You should understand that if you make a claim for TPD, access to the proceeds will be subject to meeting a condition of release. This may make it more difficult to access your benefits particularly if you are under retirement age.

Any TPD benefit you receive may not be completely tax fee (compared to a TPD policy held outside of super). However it may receive concessional tax treatment if you receive the benefit in the form of either a lump sum or income stream.

The conditions to receive a claim under the TPD policy are based on an ‘any occupation’ definition. Although ‘any occupation’ cover is cheaper than an ‘own occupation’ cover, it is also more restrictive as you have to meet the criteria of not being able to perform any job that you are reasonably qualified or trained for.

Page 26: Assignment Financial Planning

The TPD cover I have recommended is linked to your Life Cover. This means that if you suffer a TPD event and receive a payout, your Life Cover will be automatically reduced may be covered by the amount of the TPD payout.

Only up to 80% (with a Superannuation Contribution Option) of your income may be covered by an Income Protection or Temporary Salary Continuance policy.

Income provided by an income replacement policy is treated as taxable income. The waiting period is the maximum amount of time that you will have to wait before you begin to

receive payments under the policy. You should also note that some payments are made in arrears so this may extend your waiting period. This is why having cash in the bank or sick leave due from your employer can be beneficial

The benefit period is the maximum amount of time that you will be paid under the policy (subject to policy conditions).

You will lose any insurance cover you currently hold in an existing policy as soon as it is cancelled. You should wait to cancel the existing policy until you receive confirmation from the new insurer of acceptance of the application.

Paying insurance premiums with your superannuation can deplete or reduce your balance over time. Levels of cover should be reviewed regularly and in cases where recommendations include the

replacement of an existing policy(ies) with another, you should not cancel these policies until the replacement policy(ies) have been accepted.

Your insurance does not commence until the insurer has completed their assessment and issued the insurance policy. Once the insurer has received your application, they will advise what other requirements they have of you. This can involve having a blood test or medical examination or they may write to your doctor for a report. We will let you know what these requirements are at the appropriate time. The costs of any medical reports, examinations or blood tests are met by the insurer.

If a claim is made on your term life policy and insurer agrees to pay the claim, the income will be paid either to your nominated beneficiary (and not form part of your estate).

The Accident Benefit is not payable in the event that you are eligible for the specified injury benefit, crisis benefit or nursing care benefit.

For each product recommended, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for further information about key product features and significant risk associated with implementing the policy.

Page 27: Assignment Financial Planning

As a result of replacing your existing Mercer Life/TPD, REST Life, Tasplan Life/TPD and Westpac Future Cover with the recommended BT Protection Plans Life/TPD/Trauma, you will experience the following loss of benefits and other significant consequences:

Paying insurance premiums with your superannuation can deplete or reduce your balance over time. You should not cancel your existing insurance cover until you have been notified that the

recommended replacement cover is in force. This will ensure that you are not exposed to a period of time with no cover.

Replacing your insurance cover means you may be subject to financial and/or medical underwriting by the new insurer. This may result in loadings and/or policy exclusions.

As you are replacing your life insurance, your new product may have a 13 months suicide exclusion.

Variation from Risk Profile Asset Allocation

In developing my advice to satisfy your objectives it is necessary to vary the actual asset allocation from the benchmark asset allocation as set out in your risk profile. Within your risk profile there are ‘acceptable ranges’ for each asset class. These ranges allow us to adjust the allocation to each asset class as part of satisfying your objectives, whilst still remaining within the overall risk/returns framework of the risk profile. However, your portfolio is outside of these acceptable ranges in Cash. This is due to the following reasons:

We are required to keep sufficient cash reserves in your account to fund insurance premiums and related account fees and charges.

Page 30: Assignment Financial Planning

This allocation to Cash which sits outside of the acceptable ranges, means that the overall risk/return framework is outside of your agreed risk profile and by accepting this advice you are agreeing to this deviation. The implication of this deviation in term of risk and the effect on your risk profile (and asset allocation) are that your fund is not as aggressive as you initially anticipated and may provide more conservative long term returns.

Please Note: Fund managers may, within limits, vary the asset allocation of their investment portfolios from time to time depending upon their views of the investment markets. As a result, the asset allocation of your investment portfolio may also vary from the figures shown.

Given the above, please advise me as soon as possible if you are not comfortable with these variance.

Future Strategies For Your ConsiderationAs financial positions and goals change, you will need to review the advice to ensure it continues to meet your needs.

What You Need To KnowThe Costs of AdviceAs part of detailed financial planning there are costs to you at various stages of the process from strategy recommendation and implementation through to ongoing reviews.There are also fees and charges incurred when purchasing investment products or services and insurance policies. Where I recommend a product or service which is issued by a company within the Westpac or BT groups, that company will receive part of the fees and charges you pay for the product or service as remuneration. These fees and charges are outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement, Inventor Guide (as applicable), or other disclosure document for relevant products.

Westpac receives the following types of remuneration: Commissions paid by the product manufacturer or issuer, referred to as Product

Commissions. Fees paid by you and those product commissions which are negotiable, referred to as Advice

Fees.

All amounts are shown inclusive of GST.

How I am RemuneratedAs I am an employee I am paid a salary (including superannuation) by Westpac. In addition I may also receive as remuneration from Westpac, a portion of the Product Commission and Advice Fees.

From the Advice Fees and Product Commissions received by Westpac, the maximum share that I can receive as remuneration is 44.00%.

This amount is shown in the tables below under the heading ‘Maximum Planner Share of Total’, however the actual mount I receive may be less. The calculation of the actual percentage I will receive is based on my overall performance in the year including meeting financial, compliance and other Westpac objectives.

If any of Advice Fees payable have been discounted because you are entitled to a published discount, the maximum share of revenue that I may receive from these fees will be based on the non-discounted rate for that fee.1. Strategy Recommendation: At our previous meeting you agreed to the preparation of a tailored

financial plan. As part of this commitment, you agreed to pay a Plan Preparation Fee for the preparation of that financial plan. The Plan Preparation Fee is a one-off fee. This SoA fee will be rebated to you, should you implement with me, my recommendations.

Please refer to the section titled ;How I am Remunerated’ for details of any initial product level costs and the section titled ‘Product Fees and Charges’ for details of the buy/sell spread for each investment option.

Comparison of ongoing fees

The following section compares the ongoing fees of your existing Tasplan Super, REST Super, AXA Super, BT Super for Life, Ausfund Super, Mercer Super, REST Super with the recommended BT Foundation Portfolio SuperWrap PSP. As the fees are subject to change, these comparisons should be used as a guide only. For more information please refer to the relevant PDS or other disclosure document for each product.

Comparison of ongoing fees – investments

The following table provides a comparison of ongoing management fees (MER/ICR) and other ongoing product costs. The fees shown are annual equivalents which have been estimated using an investment balance at a given point in time.

When comparing investment management fees please note that altering the overall asset allocation of your investment portfolio could impact these fees. This is because funds invested in defensive assets such as cash or fixed interest typically incur a lower MER/ICR when compared to funds invested in growth assets such as shares or property.
