Frequently Asked Questions

View all Frequently Asked Questions

While the ‘Focus Partners’ name may be less than a decade old, the business has been going since the 1960s. Focus Partners is both a Chartered Accounting and a Financial Planning business under the one roof. With financial and taxation advice overlapping more than ever, it makes sense to have a team that works together to give you the full picture – rather than juggling separate providers.

Focus Partners offers a range of strategic solutions for all your financial needs. Tailored professional financial advice can help you make informed financial decisions and create long-term financial security for you and your family.

The cost varies from client to client, depending on the complexity of the advice required. The initial meeting with one of our advisers is free of charge. At that point we will gather relevant information about your current situation, and then we will look to see what strategies we can employ to help you achieve your objectives.

Initial cost

Focus Partners provides excellent advice in the form of written Statements of Advice (SOAs). The fee for preparing a SOA will generally be between $1,650 and $3,300, depending on the scope and complexity of the advice. The cost will be fully disclosed to you prior to any expense being incurred, and in most cases the expense can be paid from your superannuation.

Ongoing cost

Our ongoing cost of advice is 0.88% per annum of your investment balance, and this may be less if the appropriate strategy for you involves a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF). The ongoing cost of advice with a SMSF is a flat dollar fee, which varies depending on the complexity of the fund and the level of service that you require.

Transactions: buying and selling on the Stock Exchange

Focus Partners outsources the trading function to Lonsec Limited. The charge we have negotiated with Lonsec is 0.44% with a minimum cost of $44. This is paid 100% to Lonsec, with Focus Partners receiving NIL. If you are not a financial planning client with an ongoing service relationship with us, Focus Partners will charge an additional amount of up to 0.66% with a minimum of $66.

Personal Risk Insurance

We will take great care to identify and recommend insurance that provides the best value for money for our clients. In line with industry practice, Focus Partners receives a commission on insurance placed through us.

Please note that while the commissions are payable based on the premium you pay, the commissions do not form part of your premium and are not an additional fee to you. The level of commission payable to Focus Parnters will be fully disclosed at the time of recommendation.

We offer the best of both worlds: big-firm capabilities with small-firm care. Unlike single-service providers, we’re your complete financial solution under one roof – accounting, financial planning, and SMSF services all working together.

Your first chat is completely free and obligation-free. We’ll get to know you, your situation, and your goals. No pressure, no sales pitch – just a genuine conversation about your financial future.

Focus Partners utilise the resources and investment knowledge of Lonsec Limited, one of Australia’s top research houses. Using the guidance and recommendations of Lonsec, Focus Partners will construct a portfolio which is reflective of the level of diversity and sophistication that can be achieved with the financial assets available for investment. Where possible, we try to use direct investments (such as ASX listed Australian shares) in order to keep management fees to a minimum. Where direct investing is not economical or practical, we will utilise the skills of fund managers who are ‘Recommended’ or ‘Highly Recommended’ by Lonsec. Where direct investing is possible, we rely largely on the ‘model portfolios’ of Lonsec, which have a proven and long term track record of strong performance in excess of the relevant market benchmarks.
