Testimonial | Non-bank investments are a positive alternative

December 18, 2019


Invest Smarter and choose non-bank investments

Look beyond the banks for better investment returns The RBA has held the official cash rate of interest at an all time low of just .75% and thousands of Australian investors, including retirees, self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs), companies and individuals, are now left stranded earning less than 2.0% on their idle cash. Low Rates have taken their toll For many investors the fall in rates over the past 8 years has led to: • less retirement income to live off • fewer family holidays • reduced discretionary spending • downsizing of the family home • …and in many instances financial distress We have heard of these frustrations and many more at Sedley Koschel Financial Group (SKFG). Non bank investments offer a positive alternative For many, earning a low rate of return on your idle money is neither desirable nor sustainable, particularly given that inflation is currently higher (1.6% per annum) than the cash rate (.75% per annum). Investors are now forced to look for alternatives to keep ahead financially and maintain their lifestyles. Otherwise they risk going backwards by doing nothing. Low interest rates have resulted in much-needed innovation within the financial services industry to fill the gaps left by the banks. Non-bank alternatives have created wide opportunities for investors and companies.

Robert Koschel explains everything very well so you can make a decision with confidence. He was very insightful, providing us with different investment options, explained what the returns would be and the likely outcomes for each. And he let us make the decision, which is what we wanted.” Glen & Shirley, Sanctuary Cove
