FINANCIAL PLANNING
Financial planning involves a holistic approach to helping you achieve your financial goals. At ProInvest, we provide planning advice to individuals, family groups, businesses and organisations be they large or small.
We will meet with you for a detailed discussion in order to develop appropriate financial strategies based on your current financial situation, your investment appetite, and your short, medium and long term investment goals.
When developing your financial strategy we carefully consider every aspect of your financial circumstances including but not limited to:
- Income from all sources including salary, investment returns and rental income
- Current tax position including any salary packaging options
- Assets and liabilities
- Dependants
- Superannuation
From this information, we develop a detailed Statement of Advice that will include all relevant information provided and outline appropriate strategies to help you achieve your financial goals.
WE CONSIDER YOU TO BE A VALUED MEMBER OF PROINVEST AND WE TREAT YOU AS A PARTNER IN THE GOAL OF GUIDING YOU TO YOUR BEST FINANCIAL OUTCOMES OVER THE COURSE OF YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE.
Nick and the team at ProInvest has helped us through a difficult time. We have always found him very conscientious, friendly and capable. He guided us after selling our business of twenty years to set up our Self Funded Superannuation Fund, which was very reassuring as we are now retirees.

During the course of running your own business, ProInvest is here to help guide you through both difficult times and opportunities that arise. Having sound advice and guidance at critical times in the life of your business can make all the difference, not only in terms of financial survival but between maintaining the status quo and achieving real growth.

MANAGED INVESTMENTS
Investing is about watching your money work as hard as you do. At ProInvest, we offer access to a range of managed investments suitable for all types of investors. We carefully monitor the performance of numerous diversified investment funds to make our best recommendation to you taking into account your personal goals and objectives.
WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE FOR YOU BY MAKING SURE YOU UNDERSTAND AND FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THE STRATEGY WE RECOMMEND.
SUPERANNUATION & RETIREMENT PLANNING
As Australians, we rely more and more on our superannuation to fund our retirement. At the same time, we are working longer with the expected retirement age by 2030 being well over 70 according to industry experts. Age eligibility for the aged pension is also rising. This is why it has never been more important to plan your superannuation strategy as early as possible with even the smallest improvement on your returns today eventually adding up to a significant retirement lump sum over time. No matter what age you are, it is always worthwhile reviewing your superannuation performance regularly and making sure you are on the right track.
AT PROINVEST, WE DISCUSS, PLAN AND IMPLEMENT SUPERANNUATION STRATEGIES CONSIDERING INDUSTRY, RETAIL AND SELF-MANAGED FUNDS DEPENDING ON YOUR NEEDS AND OBJECTIVES.
We also assist in setting up SMSF funds for you and even help you find an investment property when this is the optimal strategy.
PERSONAL INSURANCE
The majority of Australians are under-insured according to industry experts. While most Australians have some life insurance or income protection, the reality is that almost all of them do not have enough cover in the event they can no longer work or pass away. It is common to assume your superannuation insurance benefits are adequate, but this is almost never the case.
At ProInvest, we take personal insurance very seriously and urge all of our clients to regularly review their insurance position with us. This is particularly important for families with young children and even for retired investors with adult dependents or who have estate planning needs. The team at ProInvest is always keen to regularly review your personal insurance and ensure you have the appropriate cover in place. Personal insurance includes:
- Income protection – covers you in the event you cannot work for a period of time
- Total & Permanent Disability insurance (TPD) – covers you in the event you can no longer work due to permanent injury.
- Trauma Cover – provides a lump sum payment in the event you cannot work due to a traumatic event.
- Life Insurance – provides a lump sum payment to your beneficiaries in the event of your death.
Nick and the team at ProInvest have been our financial advisors for over 6 years and in this time, we feel we couldn’t have been looked after better. A few years ago when Dominic suffered a work-related illness, Nick and his team not only had us properly insured in the first place, but handled every aspect of our insurance claim right through to its conclusion. Having gone through this experience, we are thankful we were in the hands of people with knowledge and experience of the highest calibre. We also felt we were in the hands of people who genuinely cared and understood what we were going through. We strongly recommend Nick and ProInvest and urge you to seek their advice, especially in regard to your personal insurance.
AGED CARE ADVICE
When a loved member of your family can no longer live independently, it is always an emotional time and understanding your options is critical to ensure you and your family are safe, secure and comfortable. The process involved can be confusing and stressful so making sure you have the right advice and guidance is key.
OUR AGED-CARE SPECIALISTS HAVE HELPED MANY FAMILIES PLAN FOR THIS TRANSITION SUCCESSFULLY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH CENTRELINK AND YOUR AGED CARE FACILITY ON YOUR BEHALF.
MORTGAGE & FINANCE LENDING
Obtaining finance to buy your first home to acquiring a commercial property or arranging asset finance for your business is almost always a difficult task. Not only do you want to find the best rates and features for your loan, but you also want to make sure you approach the right lender that will consider your unique circumstances.
As mortgage and finance brokers, we have access to a panel of more than 30 lenders in the market including the major banks to specialist lenders and private lenders providing loans for:
- Owner-Occupier homes including for First Home Owners (FHO)
- Residential investment loans
- Commercial loans – property and business loans
- Loans for the Self-employed
- Motor vehicle finance – personal and business
- Asset finance – for vehicles and/or equipment
Our finance manager Matthew Mufic along with the Director of ProInvest Nick Athanasiadis are particularly skilled at finding solutions to complex finance requirements, especially in the self-employed and commercial space. We are also committed to ensuring your overall financial position is reviewed in detail when recommending finance. Unlike many mortgage brokers, we are also a financial planning business and therefore, will look more deeply at your finance goals and objectives to ensure you borrow money responsibly and sustainably.
At ProInvest, we are primarily focused on what is best for you which is why our retention rate is well above the industry average. Once you have obtained a loan with our assistance, your loan will be regularly reviewed to ensure your loan rates and fees remain competitive. We will automatically apply for pricing improvements on your behalf. That way you have an expert monitoring your lending throughout the life of your loan!
FINANCE BROKERS ARE PAID COMMISSION BY THE LENDERS SO THIS SERVICE IS FREE OF CHARGE EXCEPT IN RARE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH CASE A QUOTE IS PROVIDED
PRIOR TO PROCEEDING!
As self-employed business owners in the entertainment industry, we found it challenging to find a bank that would provide the funds we needed to buy a family home. Matt at ProInvest immediately understood our situation and had a fully approved loan for us in a matter of a few days. Along with the team at ProInvest, Matt guided us through every step and made it all seem simple and easy. We strongly recommend the experienced and knowledgeable team at ProInvest and we are very happy that we found them!
PROPERTY – BUYER’S ADVOCACY
Buying a property is among the most stressful things you can do particularly in a volatile or unfamiliar market. The ProInvest buyer’s advocacy department is here to assist you in the buying process from start to finish. Working with our planning and finance team, we can help you find the right property in line with your financial needs. We will negotiate on your behalf and take the time and stress out of the process of sorting the most suitable properties from the rest.
WORKING CLOSELY WITH YOU, WE WILL FACILITATE THE ENTIRE PROCESS FOR YOU RIGHT THROUGH TO SETTLEMENT
I had the pleasure of working with ProInvest throughout the process of purchasing my first home. What anyone needs during that time is the peace of mind that you have great advice and support to help you navigate the process and paperwork. Matt Mufic went above and beyond to help me secure my first place while living abroad. Matt was incredibly responsive outside of his working hours, talked me through signing documents at the Australian Embassy and putting in offers on prospective apartments. Given that I was abroad when I made the purchase, Matt was required to meet with personnel at the bank and continues to work to improve my loan and finance situation. Matt was very friendly and approachable in his communication and always has his customer’s best interests in mind.
THE BEST THING MONEY CAN BUY IS FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
Wealth is not theirs that have it, but those that enjoy it.
