Question 1

Should lifestyle assets, such as a weekender beach house, be included?

Accepted Answer

No. If an asset is purely held for lifestyle purposes and not for generating income then they should not be included. However if the plan is to sell it one day to top up income producing investments, then you can include the expected proceeds from the sale in the “Other Savings” question during the input process. Make sure to select the year which the client is planning for this to happen.

Question 2

Does Investfit allow for inflation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Investfit increases all non-investment ralated cashflows at the CPI rate assumed in the assumption panel. You can change this assumption depending on your view on inflation.

Question 3

Does investfit allow for increases to wages and salary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Investfit increases earnings from wages and salaries at the prevailing AWE (Average Weekly Earnings) Rate for Australian workers. The default AWE rate is in the assumption panel and can be changed depending on a client’s own circumstances and view on the rate at which they expect their earnings to increase from year to year.

Question 4

Is my information secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Very. Investfit transmissions are encrypted using the same encryption technology as the major banks. Additionally, personal identifiers (name, email etc) are not attached to data as it is transmitted to our servers.
