Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 25 October 2024. Luke joins Leon Delaney in the studio with Luke to talk about an important topic. What can I do outside of super to compliment my long term financial plans?

Superannuation is a great and tax effective vehicle for saving for retirement. But once you put the money into super, you can’t access it until you reach a condition of release, which is usualy retirement age. As a result, it’s good to keep something outside of super too – but what do you do with it?  Luke shares a few examples. Thank you for joining us live on 2CC, YouTube or your favourite podcast streaming service with ‘The Strategy Stacker – Luke Talks Money’.

Key topics covered include:

• Trading accounts provide the ability to start without having lots of money to start, and the ability to save into it


• There are lots of different types of trading accounts available so find somewhere that works for you


• Ensure you have diversity in your investments


• Micro investing apps provide another pathway to investing with a broad range of direct investments and pre-mixed investment options


• Formal structures or investment platforms run by investment managers also provide an avenue for people to make investments for the long term. These are well run platforms run by specialist investment managers. These also offer the ability to save money into for ongoing contributions.


• Why exchange traded funds offer a good place to start for new investors.


• Luke offers some tips for making the most of investments outside of your superannuation for the long term.
