ARE YOU COVERED FOR THE COST OF INFLATION?

Every day I sit with potential investors who are shopping around for the “best” rate.   The “best” rate doesn’t exist.  It is a customised rate based on your needs, requirements, risk appetite, investment term, access to capital and other factors including tax.

What I can tell you is that if the rate you obtain after fees and tax is less than inflation you will not be able to maintain your purchasing power.  Just a glance at the figures above (reproduced from the Saturday Star 9 February 2013), you will see that very basic food items have nearly doubled in less than 3 years!

So if you are concerned about the returns you are getting on your money with the banks, investment products and elsewhere, make sure we’ve spoken so that you can relax!
