In this compelling case study episode, Stuart shares a real-life example that masterfully combines estate planning, tax minimisation, and portfolio management strategies. He walks through the steps taken to optimise an unexpected multi-million dollar inheritance for a client.
The pivotal move? Establishing a testamentary trust as outlined in the will, enabling the transfer of the inherited share portfolio into this strategic structure. By distributing the income and capital gains to the client's seven grandchildren, a remarkable tax-free outcome was achieved by leveraging their lower marginal rates.
Stuart's team then transitioned the concentrated Australian share portfolio to a more diversified, rules-based, and evidence-backed approach—reducing risk while still capturing impressive growth from $4 million in 2020 to $4.8 million today despite drawing income.
This case serves as a powerful testament to the compounding benefits of seeking timely advice and properly structuring assets.
Tune in for an insightful look at how professional guidance can potentially unlock substantial value, even from unexpected windfalls. Don't miss these real-world lessons!
