The tax benefits associated with superannuation make it a clear winner when it comes to building wealth over the long term. However, it isn’t available to everyone. Some people are no longer able to contribute to superannuation while others are still working but have reached the concessional contributions cap and can no longer make tax effective contributions to superannuation. 

There are many options available for your non-super investment needs but some important issues need to be considered before investing.

Set a time frame for your financial goals

Thinking about your investment timeframe can help you choose an option that matches your goals. For example, if you are saving for a round-the-world holiday in the next twelve months, the type of investment options you may be considering could be different to those that are suited to building long-term savings to supplement your super in retirement.

Determine your risk appetite

It is also important to consider your attitude to risk to ensure a balance between your personal circumstances and your investment ambitions. If losing 10% or 20% of value in your investment would make you uncomfortable, then cash or capital stable investments may suit you better. Investors who take the long term view, who understand sharemarket downturns and property slumps, may be more suited to investing in shares and property.
