Welcome to the first edition of the Meritum update for 2008.
It’s hard to believe that 2007 has come to an end.
It was an exciting year for financial services with significant legislative changes affecting tax, superannuation and Age Pension. The changes have brought with them many benefits for retirees as well as those approaching retirement.
In this issue, we provide you with some interesting information on the ‘sub-prime’ crisis – everyone is talking about it, but what exactly is sub-prime and what does it all mean.
And as we enter another year, our thoughts turn towards our finances. We provide you with some useful information on getting out of the red and into the black as well as some ‘sensible’ tips on how to plan for the year ahead.
As always, if you would like more information on any of the topics in this newsletter, or any other investment advice, please feel free to contact us at any time.
