Who We Can Help
Where Are You In Life?
Fit & Flexible
(Under 30s)
With your first job under your belt and minimal debt, chances are you have great disposable income. But did you know improving your financial fitness now can have a massive impact on your future?
‘Grown Ups’
(30 - 45 Years)
You've now moved into the 'dreaded 30's' and have been officially classified by your former self as being WAY old! But what the younger, cooler version of yourself doesn't know is that you have now established a stronger career and have obtained a taste for the finer things in life. However as someone once said, with power comes great responsibility! You now probably have a lot more going on in life.
Home Stretch
(45 - 60 Years)
This is the time in life where you start to think a little more seriously about your pending retirement. For those that have children, you may also find that you start to get some freedom back now the kids are older or have left home. Financially, you're probably earning at your peak, the mortgage is in good shape and superannuation is much more on your radar.
Free & Easy
(60 - 75 Years)
The kids are gone (hopefully), you’re free again and it’s time to start enjoying the fruits of your labour! This stage is all about setting up the last push to retirement and then ensuring your have the correct structure in place to achieve your objectives.
Twilight

Investment Philosophy
Profusion Planning’s investment philosophy is to ensure the portfolios constructed for our clients are closely aligned to the objectives of the individual. While this sounds simple, it is quite different to how portfolios have traditionally been designed within the financial services industry. This is because, most superannuation and investment providers, offer investment options that are linked to a risk category (ie. Defensive through to High Growth). This method is based on a split between defensive and growth assets, however has no real connection to the goals an individual has, nor the time at which they might need funds. It is for this reason that Profusion Planning uses an Outcome-based Investment approach.
Goal Based Advice
Ever since Profusion Planning was founded by Stephen and Brad in 2009, the core premise of our advice has been linked to the goals of our clients. This is reflected in our process that has been custom built to ensure we capture everything that is important to you
Family & Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of working out how best to look after your affairs both when you are alive and when you pass away. Having a detailed estate plan is important because it helps to ensure people you trust look after you in the event you lose capacity to make decisions for yourself and will also provide clarity about distribution of your assets, care of your dependents, control of your home and business as well as help minimise risks such as those who might challenge your estate.
