Is It the Right Time to Invest in the Australian Business Market? Although the Australian business market hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been doing well for the past couple of months, this does not mean that investing here could leave your potential revenues plummeting. Australia is one of the most lucrative markets for investors from around the world. In fact, several European countries target Australian lands as a way to diversify their businesses.

Investment Why is it important?

Managing your money properly is the key to ensuring your financial wellbeing in the future, as financial troubles can pop up unexpectedly from time to time. It is therefore wise to build up an adequate pool of wealth which will help you get through difficult times. Investment creates wealth which you could use in times of need or for raising your standard of living. Investing your money also helps you to achieve your long term financial targets and to ensure that you have the support you need when you are unable to work anymore. It is never too late to starting investing in opportunities that could help you later on in life. It is also not enough to simply save money by keeping it in a safe place as inflation will deteriorate the value of your money over time. The only way to increase the value of your money and beat inflation is by investing it. If you have excess money lying around that you will not need anytime soon, the best idea would be to invest it in an asset or enterprise that would generate a satisfactory return for you. There are many opportunities for investing money. The most popular investment choices are stocks, bonds, and real estate. Ambitious people prefer investing in stocks because it is possible to secure very healthy returns on their investments. By purchasing the right stock, you can get dividends at regular intervals which can serve as a steady source of income for you. You could also invest in bonds and certificates issued by the government or by private businesses. An interest rate is paid over a period of time in this case until the bond or certificate matures.

MONEY Although the return on investment might not be as high as the returns achievable for some of the other investment options available, this option does ensure that you get returns on a regular basis with little or no risk. Another way of achieving high returns is by investing in the property market. The risk associated with this option is relatively low. Property prices generally tend to grow over long periods of time and real estate investments provide an excellent long term growth opportunity for your money. Investing in the right rental property will, on the other hand, allow you to get a regular income source that will gradually increase with time.

vnm magazine 06

It is first important to understand the risks associated with investing though, as you might not always get a return on your investment. For this reason, it is necessary to diversify them. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t place all your eggs in the same basket. Spread your investments around. This will help your chances of getting a good overall return on your investments. Smart investors place their investments into several options to make sure that they safeguard themselves against economic uncertainties.

Are Australians Investing? And If So, Where? Australia has been successful in preventing the global financial situation from derailing its economy and dragging down the standard of living of its citizens. The countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy has been growing at a healthy rate and Australians have been investing heavily in both local and foreign markets. With the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GDP expected to grow 3.1% in 2017 and 3% in 2018, it is safe to say that investing in Australia is not a bad idea at all. The Australian government has been actively working to attract local and foreign investors. The standard of living in Australia continues to rise. It is expected that investors looking to invest in Australia will continue to find plenty of good investment opportunities in the near future.

vnm magazine 08

The investment climate in Australia is ideal for both small and large investors. Excellent investment opportunities are available in different sectors of the Australian economy. In recent times, most of the investment has gone into three main kinds of assets: stocks, property, and fixed income certificates. The big Australian investors have invested heavily in the stock market and in real estate. The Australian stock market has done quite well in recent times and those investing in equities have received healthy returns on their investments. Investing in equities is not suitable for small investors because their value can vary unexpectedly from time to time. Large variations in the stock market can wipe out all the money invested by small investors. Most Australians investing in the stock market are wealthy and they have enough spare cash to risk. Property investments have been rising steadily over the past couple of years. Many Australian investors have poured billions of dollars into the property sector and they have been rewarded with high returns on their investments. The returns gained by real estate investors during the past few years have been great. The yearly returns on investments made in Australian residential properties have been around 8% on average over the past decade. Property prices have also risen dramatically over the past decade and it is predicted that they will continue to rise for the next couple of years. This makes the property sector an ideal investment destination for investors. Many Australians have also been investing in fixed income assets like certificates and bonds. This investment option has been exploited mainly by the small investors. They find the fixed income assets attractive because of the stable returns that they yield on a regular basis. There is little or no risk involved and the amount invested stays protected. The fixed income bonds and certificates have yielded a good yearly average return of 6.2% over the past decade. However, the interest rates have remained low for a few years now and it is not the primary target of large investors. Investing in term deposits is a good idea when you want to diversify your investment portfolio to minimise the risk of losing money if the economic conditions deteriorate.

RETIRED

Now What? What Are Australians Planning For Retirement?

READ MORE A large number of Australians in the middle age bracket do not seriously think about what they are going to do when they retire. They prefer to live in the present and not worry about how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll deal with the issues associated with retirement. That is not a good idea at all! It is never too early to start planning for your retirement. You might be fit and healthy now. You might have an excellent job and a wonderful social life. However, things change as your age. Your health problems increase as you grow older and a time comes when you find it hard to work and support yourself. It is a good idea to make a plan for all the things that can make life difficult for you when you grow old. There is growing awareness amongst Australians that they need to have a clear direction for their lives after retirement. People who are aware of the challenges that retirees face are engaging in positively planning for the later stages of their lives. The main idea is to keep yourself engaged in activities and to lead a wholesome life which is pleasant for you and beneficial for others. The first thing to do is to make a list of all the goals you wish to achieve after retirement. These goals could be things that you wanted to buy, but never did. Your goals could also be to engage in activities or tasks that you find enjoyable, like a trip to the Bahamas, or a visit to an exotic land. Your desires should guide you in your goal creation. The main aim of your planning should be to ensure that your physical and mental health is not compromised in any way and that your life continues to have meaning. What you must keep in mind is that nothing comes for free.

vnm magazine 010

Most Australians who try to create a retirement plan realise this. It is necessary to make arrangements to meet your financial needs when you are no longer in a position to work. A large number of people who are retiring these days are doing so in a phased way. An abrupt retirement usually comes with a shock for the retirees as they need to suddenly adjust to a new lifestyle that they are not familiar with. In a phased strategy, they can gradually cut down on their working hours until they are in a comfortable position to let go of their professional lives. Elderly Australians receive pension support when they reach the retirement age, but the amount they receive is only sufficient to meet their basic needs. The best way to ensure your financial well-being after retirement is to invest in attractive opportunities. Many people invest in fixed income bonds which provide a steady income stream. You could invest in real estate, or in the stock market. These options have risks in the short term due to variations in the market, but they can yield good returns on a long term basis. Another good idea is to take out insurance policies that will help you cover your medical bills and any unforeseen accidents that you might face. The premiums youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be paying will totally worth it. Being smart about how you manage your money is crucial for the success of your retirement plan. Make sure that you start planning for your retirement as early as possible. You need to give yourself enough time to build up the financial resources youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to meet the objectives set out in your retirement plan.

IDEAS Always keep a level head on your shoulders. Don’t go diving into a business opportunity.........

WHERE SHOULD YOU START? Investing in a small business can be quite a satisfying experience if it is done right. As a small business owner, you’ll be creating jobs for people and contributing to the economic growth of the country. However, you’ll have to invest your money wisely and work hard to ensure that your business survives in today’s competitive world. It takes good planning, determination, and hard work to establish a successful business. Smart investment decisions and a good business strategy can help you get a very attractive return on your initial investment, but be aware of the risks involved. There is always a chance that you’ll end up losing some, or all, of your hard earned money. Sometimes, having a good plan and putting in a ton of hard work is not enough to earn you success.

Investing In A Small Business

Turn to family and friends for loans to help you start your business. You could even partner up with another investor to get the money you need. Finally, prepare yourself for all kinds of possibilities. It could take months for your business to generate healthy profits. If you do not have enough cash in hand to support you during this period, you could find yourself in a financial hole. Hopefully youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find these tips to be helpful in taking the first step towards starting a small business of your own. By combining smart thinking with hard work and dedication, there is a very good chance you will be successful in your business endeavor.

WHAT IS RETIREMENT EXIT FO Once you get started, you could become so involved in the daily workings of your business that you forget about how important it is to have a retirement exit strategy. If you fail to properly plan for the retirement or the sale of your business though, you will not be able to gain the best value for it. Therefore, it is necessary to have a clearly defined and well planned strategy in place before you decide that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to retire. It is not a bad idea to get in touch with a professional consulting agency when planning your exit strategy. An experienced consultant can help you make your business attractive for potential buyers and improve its value before selling it. A business broker will also be able to advise you about the best time for selling your business and guide you through the negotiation process with the buyers. Often, small business owners are the ones who do not plan an exit strategy for their business as they are more focused on actively competing with their rivals and ensuring future business growth. A consultant can then develop a retirement exit plan for them.There are several exit strategies that you could adopt for your business. The most common way is to just sell off all the assets of the company. This strategy is suitable for single owner businesses and small companies. If you are selling a running business, you are also likely to get more money for it. If you do not find the first strategy suitable, you can also consider keeping the business in the family by transferring its control to your spouse or children.

It is never too early to start planning for your retirement.

vnm magazine 018

S YOUR OR YOUR BUSINESS However, the adoption of this strategy can lead to disputes between family members. If you do not put much thought in choosing the correct person to take control of your business, you could end up with someone who has little or no knowledge of running a business and this could become a disaster for your company. The strategies mentioned above are suitable for small businesses, but if you own a large company, you could make an IPO (Initial Public Offering). This exit option enables you to earn a huge profit, but the downside is that the process of going public is not cheap and it also requires a lot of time.On the whole, make sure that the retirement exit strategy that you choose for your business is the one which is most suitable for it. It should be in alignment with your vision and personal objectives. Money is not the only thing that people have on their minds when deciding to exit their business. Some people also look for an exit strategy which helps preserve their legacy and the things they have achieved for themselves and their communities. Start planning your exit strategy well in advance. Remember, it is never too early to start planning for your retirement.

BABY BOOMERS ARE LOOKING TO RETIRE

What impact is this having on small businesses and the market? Baby boomers are the people who were born between 1946 and 1964. As a demographic group, the baby boomers represent the wealthiest generation ever who contributed to the tremendous growth in consumerism. However, the era of the baby boomers is coming to an end as more and more of them are reaching the age of retirement. Unfortunately though, most of the baby boomers are not sufficiently prepared to deal with the issues theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be facing after retirement and lack adequate financial resources for the troubled times ahead.

According to the Pew Research estimates, there are 74.9 million baby boomers alive today. Now, as the baby boomers age and drop out of the workforce, the economic growth will tend to slow down. The knowledge and experience that they will take away with them will also have an impact on the sectors of the economy which require skilled or specialised labour. When the baby boomer generation was at their peak, they were making a significant contribution to the growth of the global economy. Consumer spending was at a very high level and it was driving rapid economic growth. The baby boomers also played an important part in supporting the real estate sector and the home ownership figures grew rapidly. The effects of the retirement of the baby boomers are however, now being felt by the market and especially by the small businesses. It is a well known fact that the economic contribution of the people who retire goes down and they become more dependent on other people, or on government support. The dependence ratio will thus, continue to rise as the baby boomers drop out of the workforce. As consumer spending falls, the small businesses are the ones that will be hurt the most as they do not have large financial resource pools to support their businesses during times of sluggish economic activity.

What is it like outside Australia? The situation in the U.S. is not too bad because the percentage of the workforce with people over the age of 65 years is not as high as it is in some of the other countries of the world. So the negative effects of the retirement of the baby boomers on the U.S. economy will not be profound.

vnm magazine 020

74.9 MILLION BABY BOOMERS ALIVE TODAY As the baby boomers retire, they will also not be spending as much as they used to. This will have a negative effect on the GDP growth rate as well. However, the impact will be lessened because as living standards continue to rise, the average lifespan of people will also increase. As more and more people are living longer, it is expected that some of the baby boomers will continue working even after passing the retirement age.
