Islamic Financial Planning Built Around Your Goals
Personalised Financial Advice to Help You Plan, Build and Protect Your Future
Straight Path Financial Planning is based in Brisbane and provides financial advice to individuals and families across the region.For clients outside Brisbane, online consultations allow us to provide financial planning services across Australia. If you've searched for “financial advice near me” or a “financial planner near me”, choosing an adviser isn't simply about finding the closest office.
For many Muslim Australians, financial planning involves an additional consideration: how to work towards financial goals while ensuring investment decisions remain consistent with their values. Traditional investment portfolios and superannuation funds may have exposure to businesses or financial activities that some investors prefer to avoid based on Islamic investment principles.
Our approach considers your financial objectives alongside your investment preferences to help develop an appropriate long-term strategy.
Personalised Financial Strategies
There is no single financial strategy suitable for everyone.Your recommendations should reflect your financial circumstances, objectives, investment preferences, timeframe and tolerance for risk.
Our advice process is designed around those individual factors rather than applying the same strategy to every client.
Financial decisions made today can influence your position for many years. Professional financial advice can help you understand your options, identify potential risks and opportunities and develop a structured approach towards your financial objectives.
What Is Sharia-Compliant Investing?
Sharia-compliant investing is an approach to investing that considers Islamic principles when determining which companies, industries and financial structures are appropriate for an investment portfolio.
Investment screening commonly considers both the activities of a business and certain financial characteristics.
This may involve avoiding or restricting exposure to businesses substantially involved in activities such as alcohol, gambling, conventional interest-based financial services, other activities considered inconsistent with the relevant Sharia investment methodology.
Financial screening may also consider factors such as a company's level of interest-bearing debt and interest-derived income. Different Sharia screening methodologies and standards can produce different outcomes. For this reason, it is important to understand the methodology applied to an investment rather than assuming that every product marketed as Islamic or Sharia compliant applies identical criteria.
Ongoing Financial Advice
Financial planning doesn't necessarily end when your initial strategy is implemented.
Markets change. Legislation changes. Your income, family circumstances and priorities may also change.
Where appropriate, ongoing financial advice and regular reviews can help ensure your strategy continues to reflect your circumstances and long-term objectives.
People seek financial advice for many different reasons.
Depending on your circumstances, this may include:
Sharia-compliant investment strategies
Halal investment options
Superannuation
Sharia-compliant superannuation options
SMSF investment strategies
Retirement planning
Wealth creation
Personal insurance considerations
Estate planning
Ongoing portfolio management
Look for professional guidance before making an important financial decision.
You don't necessarily need to wait until you have accumulated significant wealth before speaking with a financial adviser.
The appropriate time to seek advice depends on your circumstances and the financial decisions you are considering.
Investment
Investment Advice
With our expert guidance, we simplify the complexities of investing, helping you make confident decisions.
Investing according to Islamic principles does not mean financial objectives such as diversification, risk management and long-term planning should be ignored. Our Halal investment advice considers your:
Australian equities
International equities
Property
Sukuk and other eligible income-oriented investments
Sharia-screened ETFs
Sharia-screened managed investments
Appropriate alternatives
Where appropriate, a portfolio may use professionally managed investment options, ETFs or other investments that apply relevant Sharia screening methodologies.
Superannuation
Superannuation Advice
Can My Superannuation Be Invested According to Islamic Principles? What are my Halal Superannuation Options?
People searching for Halal superannuation or Islamic superannuation in Australia are often looking for a super strategy that better reflects their religious and financial preferences.
Choosing an appropriate superannuation arrangement involves more than looking at whether an investment option is marketed as Islamic.
Consideration should also be given to the fund's investment approach, fees, performance, available insurance, features and whether the overall arrangement is appropriate for your circumstances.
Retirement
Islamic Retirement Planning
Our goal is to help you develop a retirement strategy designed around your desired lifestyle, financial position and long-term objectives.
As retirement approaches, consideration needs to be given to how your superannuation, investments and other assets may provide income throughout retirement.
Our retirement planning process can consider your:
Desired retirement age
Expected retirement lifestyle
Superannuation
Investment portfolio
Income requirements
Risk tolerance
Estate planning objectives
Investment preferences
For clients seeking Islamic financial advice for retirement, these considerations can be incorporated into a broader strategy that also takes account of your investment values.
Insurance
SMSFs and Islamic Investing
For some investors, an SMSF may provide greater flexibility when constructing an investment strategy that considers Islamic investment principles.
A Self-Managed Super Fund can provide greater control over how retirement savings are invested, but it also comes with significant responsibilities, costs and regulatory obligations.
However, establishing an SMSF solely to access particular investments does not automatically mean it is the appropriate solution.
Before recommending an SMSF, factors such as your balance, investment objectives, costs, responsibilities, diversification and retirement strategy need to be considered.
Where appropriate, we can work alongside accountants, auditors and other professionals involved in the administration of an SMSF.
TTR Strategy
Transition to Retirement
By using TTR pensions, individuals can supplement their income while maintaining superannuation growth
For Australians approaching retirement, a Transition to Retirement strategy may provide additional flexibility around how you work, contribute to superannuation and access retirement savings.
Whether this type of strategy is appropriate depends on your age, employment circumstances, superannuation position and broader financial objectives.
We can assess whether a Transition to Retirement strategy is suitable for your circumstances and how it could fit within your overall retirement plan.
Estate Planning
Islamic Will & Estate Planning
Estate planning can help ensure your assets and financial affairs are structured in accordance with your wishes, alongside appropriate legal advice where required.
Islamic estate planning can help structure the distribution of your wealth in accordance with Sharia principles, while also considering Australian estate planning requirements.
This may include planning for prescribed inheritance shares among eligible beneficiaries, alongside matters such as wills, superannuation nominations, jointly held assets and other estate structures.
We can work alongside appropriately qualified legal professionals to help ensure your broader financial strategy considers both your wishes and Islamic inheritance principles.
