Our Services
How can we help you?
Whatever your financial situation, Merit can help you with tailored advice.
Investing for today and the future
We provide you with investment strategies to help you reach your short, medium and long-term goals.
These strategies grow from an understanding of your current financial position, your objectives and your attitude to investment risk to ensure the best match between you and your investment strategy.
Putting your superannuation to work
Superannuation legislation is complicated and ever-changing.
Merit advisers keep abreast of the latest developments through ongoing professional development and access to technical experts. Our advice means your superannuation works as hard as you do.
Protecting you and your family
Protecting your wealth and your lifestyle is as important as building it. You need to ask yourself the hard 'What if?' questions.
Merit access a range of fully researched insurance products that balance protection with value for money. Whatever your wealth protection needs, we help provide peace of mind.
Managing your business succession
Your business is important to you. In fact it is probably one of your most valuable assets. You have your life invested in it.
But what happens if something happens to you or one of the key people in your business. You may have your succession planning in place but how do you protect against the unexpected. We can assist you in developing a succession plan that covers this contingency.
Shaping your retirement starts today
You need to plan ahead for the retirement your deserve.
The right plan helps ensure that this time of your life is not just comfortable, but enjoyable as well. We provide you with tax effective ways to maximise your retirement assets and future income. Starting today is better that starting tomorrow because your investment strategy will have longer to work for you.
Effective estate planning
Estate planning goes further than just deciding upon the distribution of your assets to your beneficiaries.
Our complete approach also takes into account who will maintain control of your assets and make decisions on your behalf should be unable to.
Making the most of retrenchment and
redundancy
You may not think so at the time, but being retrenched can be a positive financial opportunity - so long as your payments are dealt with effectively.
We advise you on how best to receive your payout and deal with any tax issues in the most advantageous manner. When you get to your next job, your adviser assists you to make the most out of your remuneration package.
Understanding Government benefits
You've paid your taxes and contributed to society. When the time comes, you want to receive all that you are entitled to.
