Markets are shaky. Clients are nervous. Advisers are under pressure.

Over the past week, we’ve spoken with advisers across the country — and one message keeps coming up:
🔸 Clients are anxious about their super balances
🔸 They’re questioning fees
🔸 And they’re looking for more than just investment advice
As Sam Mackay of Mackay Private said on the ABC this morning:
“The first thing is just don't panic... what can easily happen is you make emotional decisions — and emotion and investing don't really work well together.”
💡 That’s why now is the time to bring estate planning into the conversation.
Why estate planning matters when markets turn:
✅ It’s relevant — clients want security, simplicity, and control
✅ It’s personal — these are legacy conversations, not just financial ones
✅ It’s value-driven — AI can rebalance portfolios, but it can’t build trust
✅ It’s scalable — estate planning doesn’t have to be time-consuming
Estate planning helps advisers stay trusted, proactive, and future-focused — even when the markets aren't.
If you're looking to add value beyond the portfolio, let’s talk.
