Case Study: Cleaning up investments and ownership structures

Stuart Wemyss

In this case study episode, Stuart delves into the transformative journey of a couple who started working with Prosolution in their mid-40s, back in September 2016, with a $900k investment portfolio. Over the past eight years, they've grown their investment assets to $2.5 million, a remarkable 2.8x increase.

Stuart discusses how Prosolution played a crucial role in cleaning up their investments and ownership structures, including eliminating expensive managed funds, optimising direct shares, and strategically using a trust with a corporate beneficiary. The clients also benefited from expert guidance on superannuation and smart allocation of surplus cash flow.

One of the significant moves was purchasing an investment property in 2017, which has appreciated by $200k. Stuart also shares insights into the emotional relief the clients experienced by outsourcing complex financial decisions, allowing them to focus on their careers and personal lives.

Throughout the episode, Stuart highlights the importance of tax efficiency through corporate beneficiaries, super contributions, and gearing strategies, noting that while gearing hasn't fully matured yet, it's a solid foundation for future growth. This episode offers valuable lessons on wealth management and strategic financial planning.
