The case study
Section 1 — Meeting your client
The first phone call
John and Elsbeth Smyth are a young married couple with one child. Recently Chris, a business associate
of Elsbeth, who also has a young family, was seriously injured in a vehicle accident that has resulted in
uncertainty about his ability to return to work. John and Elsbeth have also learned that, due to inadequate
insurance cover, the family of the injured work colleague is now under financial stress. They do have some
insurance cover themselves, but are now unsure if it is adequate or suitable for their needs. Recalling a
positive experience, she had with you a few years ago on another financial matter, John and Elsbeth call to
see if you if you can help them with their insurance needs.
Over the phone you explain to John and Elsbeth the financial planning process and why you will need to ask
the couple for certain types of financial information. You stress that any information they give you will be
treated confidentially and will only be used to help you recommend an appropriate course of action that
the Smyths should consider to ultimately meet their needs. You give them information concerning privacy,
and you and your firm’s capability, and mention that other disclosure issues are in the firm’s financial
services guide (FSG) that you will send to them.
You go on to explain that part of the information gathering will include the need to complete a financial
profile. This means that they will need to tell you what they own, what they owe, what they earn and their
living expenses. All this information will be recorded in a fact finder form which you will compile.
You arrange a date and time for them to come to your office. You ask them to bring along as much financial
information as they can to the meeting, including income details, expenses, insurance details,
superannuation and investments. You also ask them to think about what specific financial goals they want
to achieve and any issues they wish to discuss at the meeting.
When you have concluded the call, you make a file note about the conversation including the date,
the potential clients’ names, and any other items that were discussed. This is the start of your paper trail.
You also complete some of the initial details in the data collection form as shown in Table 1.
Finally, you write to Elsbeth and John, as promised during your initial conversation, and include the FSG and
a checklist of the information they need to bring to the meeting.

The first meeting
John and Elsbeth arrive at your office for the meeting as arranged. After making them comfortable,
you go through the key elements of your FSG and explain your role and capacity to assist them with their
insurance needs.
Collecting the data
You gather the following information about John and Elsbeth through a process of thorough and polite
questioning. From time to time, one or the other provides you with a relevant document to confirm their
financial situation. You confirm the details in the fact finder as you proceed.
John and Elsbeth’s current situation
John, age 36, is married to Elsbeth, who is 32. Elsbeth follows netball and is a keen weekend player in a
local competition. Elsbeth and John have one child, a boy named Harry, who was born 12 months ago.
John and Elsbeth purchased their home about three years ago which is now worth around $975,000.
They have a mortgage of $540,000. The mortgage is a variable interest loan with an interest rate of 4.5%
p.a., which is linked to a bank offset account. (Note: An offset account is one that allows the credit balance
of the offset account to offset the interest owing on an outstanding loan or mortgage, reducing the interest
payable.) The mortgage has 22 years remaining and their minimum mortgage repayment is $2,700 per
month. Any excess income they have is paid into the offset account. The current amount available in their
offset account is $32,000.
John works full-time as a chemical engineer for an agricultural supplies company that sells agricultural
chemicals, seed and fertilisers and takes regular interstate business trips to rural and regional Australia.
He has worked full-time for his employer for 10 years and earns $165,000 p.a. with additional
superannuation guarantee (SG) contributions from his employer paid into the employer’s default fund.
Page 7 of 39

Elsbeth has recently returned to work on a part-time basis (3 days a week) following maternity leave.
She is a marketing manager for a local engineering company and has also been with the same firm for
10 years. She earns $63,000 p.a. with additional SG contributions from her employer paid into the
employer’s default fund. Elsbeth advises during the meeting that she feels she would like to change her
current employment, and is considering starting up her own consulting business from home. This would
enable her to spend more time with their son.
They currently use a child care centre, as well as Elsbeth’s mother, to look after Harry when Elsbeth is at
work. The child care fees are $88 per day (not including the Child Care Rebate), which Elsbeth utilises
two days per week for 48 weeks per year. These expenses are not included in their day-to-day living
expenses. Elsbeth’s mother minds Harry for one day a week at no cost. Once Harry starts school,
Elsbeth and John hope to send him to the local independent school at a total cost of $65,000 for his whole
school life.
Other than their cash in the bank, superannuation holdings and house contents, the only other assets
they have are their motor vehicles. Elsbeth drives a recent model Ford Focus, currently valued at $11,000,
and John drives a late model Holden HSV performance vehicle, currently valued at $33,000. Both cars are
fully paid off and are comprehensively insured. All motor vehicle expenses (except insurance) are included
in the clients’ living expenses.
Superannuation
John has $260,000 in his employer’s default superannuation fund, the ASSF Super Fund, and is invested in a
balanced portfolio. He joined the fund on 1 February 2004.
Elsbeth has $114,000 in her employer’s default superannuation fund, the CISF Super Fund and is invested in
a balanced portfolio. Elsbeth joined the fund on 19 January 2004.
Neither Elsbeth nor John makes any additional contributions to their superannuation funds.
Insurance
John’s default superannuation fund provides a death and total and permanent disability (TPD) benefit
which is currently equal to his annual income (excluding SG contributions). The premium for this cover is
$1.25 p.a. for each $1,000 of cover or part thereof, and is deducted from his superannuation contributions.
The ASSF Super Fund will allow a member to increase their benefit to twice the member’s annual salary at
this premium rate. The fund will allow a further increase in cover to a maximum of $750,000. However,
the premium will increase to $1.50 per $1,000 for any amount of cover that is over twice the member’s
annual salary. John’s superannuation fund can provide income protection cover with a 30 to 90-day waiting
period, and a two-year to age 65 benefit period. He has not taken out this cover.
Elsbeth’s default superannuation fund also provides a death and TPD benefit and she currently has cover of
$126,000 for each of life and TPD. The premium for this level of cover is $143 p.a. deducted from her
superannuation contributions. The CISF Super Fund allows for members to further increase their cover to a
maximum of $2 million and on the following premium scale:
• ≤$500,000 — $1.19 p.a. per $1,000 of cover
• $500,001 to $1 million — $1.45 p.a. per $1,000 of cover
• $1 million to $2 million — $1.65 p.a. per $1,000 of cover.
Elsbeth and John have no other personal insurance cover (except health insurance as per below).
They have full comprehensive insurance on their vehicles with a total annual premium of $2,800 p.a.
Page 8 of 39

Elsbeth and John also have combined home building and contents insurance cover of:
• $100,000 home contents
• $750,000 home building.
Their home was built under an earlier version of the local building code. Additionally, the home was
purchased in a much lower market than the current one and is estimated to cost much more than
the $675,000 purchase price to replace. The policy has a contents excess of $500 and a building excess
of $1,100. The policy also includes legal liability cover of up to $20 million. Elsbeth and John pay
$145 per month for this insurance.
The Smyths have adequate private health insurance cover; this is the family cover option and includes
hospital cover with a $500 excess. They pay a premium of $270 per month for this cover. This premium
includes the private health insurance rebate. The above vehicle, home and contents and health insurance
payments are not included in their general living expenses.
Other information
John and Elsbeth have a credit card with a limit of $15,000 that they use for all their general expenses and
entertainment. However, they never spend up to their limit and always repay within the interest-free
period. They estimate their average monthly living expenses are $6,900 per month.
John and Elsbeth used to go on regular annual holidays and spent over $10,000 per trip. However, since the
start of their mortgage and the birth of Harry they now plan to take a holiday every two years spending
about $5,000, in addition to their general living expenses.
John advises he is quite healthy and has accumulated 78 days sick leave. However, he advises that he was
diagnosed with asthma symptoms in the past for which he was prescribed medication. He has not
experienced a return of these symptoms during the past couple of years. Elsbeth took all her accumulated
annual and long service leave as part of her maternity leave.
Other expenses include a donation by Elsbeth to the National Breast Cancer Foundation of $50 per month
and John makes a tax-deductible donation to Plan B of $50 per month. They each make tax-deductible
‘bucket’ donations of $50 p.a. to disaster relief funds, and accountants’ expenses come to $150 p.a. each.
These expenses are also in addition to their general living expenses.
Needs and objectives
During your conversation with John and Elsbeth, it becomes apparent that their main objective is to protect
their home and to provide for their son Harry.
Elsbeth commented that she is very concerned that they may not be able to maintain their lifestyle if either
of them died or suffered a prolonged illness. She would like to make sure that if anything were to happen
to them, Harry would be well taken care of.
At this time, they are not yet concerned with superannuation and retirement planning, believing that it is
still a long way off and that they will have time to address this part of their financial plan in the future.
Elsbeth and John have a full and comprehensive estate plan that John insisted on when they were married,
and which was updated when they purchased their house and on the birth of Harry. Also, Elsbeth’s mother
has agreed to increase her care of Harry to three days per week if anything were to happen to
Elsbeth (i.e. death or total and permanent disablement).

Closing the interview
Prior to closing the interview, you review the information provided by Elsbeth and John to check whether it
is complete. You answer some additional questions they have about what happens next and what your
likely costs will be, and explain that with their agreement you will now prepare a written financial plan,
called a statement of advice (SOA), based on the information collected and their stated objectives.
The SOA will describe possible risk management strategies and insurances they should consider, and the
reasons behind your recommendations.
John and Elsbeth agree to proceed to the next stage of the financial planning process, and you make an
appointment to present the SOA in a fortnight.
Note: You are not required to complete a full and comprehensive SOA in this assignment.
Section 2 — The fact finder
The first step is to complete the fact finder for John and Elsbeth. Refer to section 2 of your Insurance and
Risk assignment.
Note to completing the fact finder: As this is a ‘risk’ assignment, you must complete the ‘Risk needs’ section.
However, where information has not been provided in the case study background, you may leave these
sections blank.

Section 3 — Analysing the data
The next step in the financial planning process is to analyse the collected data. You do this so that you
can fully understand your clients’ needs and therefore design a financial plan that addresses their goals
and objectives.
By analysing the data provided under the following headings, you can start preparing a financial planning
strategy that will meet your clients’ needs:
• Review the fact-finding stage
• Current position
• Debt management
• Risk/protection
• Savings
• Present and future taxation issues.
Note: There are a series of questions relating to section 3 in the assignment that you must answer.
Use your answers for section 3 to help you decide on your recommendations for John and Elsbeth.
Your answers to these questions are your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to analyse the clients’
needs in preparation for developing a strategy that aligns with their requirements.
Section 4 — The strategy
Now that you have analysed the data, you are in a position to think about appropriate strategy options and
start drafting appropriate strategies for them. This should include levels of cover and researching possible
products that can support the implementation of those strategies. You will use all of this information in
your SOA for the couple.
Note: There are a series of questions relating to section 4 in the assignment that you must answer.
You will use your answers for section 4 to help you decide on your recommendations for John and Elsbeth.
Your answers to these questions are your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to analyse your clients’
needs and develop a strategy that aligns with their requirements.
Section 5 — Presenting the SOA
You meet with John and Elsbeth as arranged to present the SOA. You take the time to reiterate their
financial situation and stated objectives and to explain the proposed strategies and recommendations,
confirming regularly that both John and Elsbeth understand each component of the plan and how it meets
their needs.
Even though satisfied with your explanation of the SOA and responses to each of their questions,
they have a key concern about one of the products you have selected with regards to the cost of premiums.
Before they agree to your recommendations you have to negotiate this part of the plan with your clients.
Note: There is a series of questions relating to section 5 in the assignment that you must answer.
Your answers to these questions are your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to continue to engage
your clients.

Investor profile total points
Investor risk profile summary
0–70 Conservative — 70% Defensive and 30% Growth
You are a conservative investor. Risk must be very low and you are prepared to accept lower returns to protect capital.
The negative effects of tax and inflation will not concern you, provided that your initial investment is protected.
71–130 Moderately Conservative — 55% Defensive and 56% Growth
You are a cautious investor seeking better than basic returns, but risk must be low. Typically an older investor seeking to protect the
wealth that you have accumulated, you may be prepared to consider less aggressive growth investments.
131–210 Balanced — 40% Defensive and 60% Growth
You are a prudent investor who wants a balanced portfolio to work towards medium to long-term financial goals. You require an
investment strategy that will cope with the effects of tax and inflation. Calculated risks will be acceptable to you to achieve good
returns.
211–300 Growth — 30% Defensive and 70% Growth
You are an assertive investor, probably earning sufficient income to invest most funds for capital growth. Prepared to accept higher
volatility and moderate risks, your main concern is to accumulate assets over the medium to long term. You require a balanced
portfolio, but more aggressive investment strategies may be included.
301–350 High growth — 10% Defensive and 90% Growth
You are an aggressive investor prepared to compromise portfolio balance to pursue potentially greater long-term returns.
Your investment choices are diverse, but carry with them a higher level of risk. Security of capital is secondary to the potential for
wealth accumulation.

Section 3 Part B
Analyse the data provided by the couple by answering the following questions. Think carefully about your
responses and do not assume that you are in a position to provide answers to everything.
You may not have enough information; it may be outside of your licensee’s designated authority for this
case study (i.e. the matter needs to be referred to a specialist adviser) or it is not a goal or objective of your
clients. Where this might be the case, make sure you make a comment to that effect where relevant.
Make sure you constantly refer to the data you have on John and Elsbeth so your responses accurately
reflect the information provided to you.
The questions Your response Assessor feedback
a. Do Elsbeth and John need a debt
management solution?
No Assessor feedback
If ‘yes’, why?
If ‘no’, why not?
The reason because John and Elsbeth does not
require Debt Management Solution is because
they cannot handle or manage the same
b. Do Elsbeth and John currently have
adequate life and TPD cover?
No
If ‘yes’, why/how?
If ‘no’, how much should they have,
and why that much?
The client as per the situation does not have
their own insurances and only has
superannuation which provides for cases of
deaths or any kind of permanent disability. The
monetary value will eventually rise and
therefore the needs of the future would also
eventually rise which is a matter of concern for
the business. The client has insignificant amount
in sickness fund and they are in need of $ 10
million
c. Is their current life and TPD cover
provided through superannuation the
best option?
No
If ‘yes’, why?
If ‘no’, why? What could be an
alternative?
The Superannuation fund which is available to
John is capable of providing a coverage of $ 750k
which is not sufficient to meet the needs of the
clients for maintaining the current standard of
living and also future needs.
d. Do Elsbeth and John require any
other insurance cover?
Yes
If ‘yes’, what type of cover? How
much do they need? How should it be
provided?
If ‘no’, why?
The analysis of their situation reveals that the
client has their own insurance individually and as
a matter of health coverage, the superannuation
fund set up by the client provides a health
insurance for them effectively
e. Is there anything that could impact on
John’s and Elsbeth’s ability to obtain
insurance cover?
No
If ‘yes’, which cover(s)/why?
If ‘no’, why not?
The limitation which can affect their ability to
obtain insurance cover is not present as both
John and Elsbeth are young and have a
significant life ahead of themselves and
moreover, the financial status in present is
average and they can support any insurance
coverage.
f. If Elsbeth leaves her employer and
commences her own business and
decides to initially work from home,
will this have any impact on her
No
Page 31 of 39

The questions Your response Assessor feedback
current or recommended insurance
cover(s)?
If ‘yes’, which cover(s)/why?
If ‘no’, why?
The move where Elsbeth starts working from
home would affect slightly the insurance
premium requirements initially if the clients take
an insurance coverage.
g. If Elsbeth commences her own
business, would she require any
further insurance cover?
Yes
If ‘yes’, why and what would she
require?
If ‘no’, why not?
The insurance cover should be there in case she
works from home in a business established.
h. Are there any present and/or
anticipated future issues associated
with your recommendations?
No
If ‘yes’, why and what are they?
If ‘no’, why not?
The assessment is undertaken considering the
present situation of the client and also the
requirement of the future which the client might
be needing.
i. Are there any present and/or
anticipated future cash flow
implications associated with your
recommendations?
Yes
If ‘yes’, why and what are they?
If ‘no’, why not?
The cash flow of the clients might be affected as
the clients have included the income protection
and trauma insurance into the superannuation
requirements and therefore such can affect the
cash flows generated in future.
j. Are there any taxation considerations
with the recommendations?
The tax consideration possibility would arise only
in the case where the client decides to buy a
insurance product which is tax deductible.

Section 4 — The strategy
Case study questions
Answer the following questions in the spaces provided. The questions are your opportunity to demonstrate
your ability to analyse a client’s needs and develop a strategy that aligns with their requirements.
Section 4 Part A
Based on your analysis of the data, describe in general terms the strategy you think will best meet Elsbeth
and John’s needs, and why. Include what other specialist advice they will need to source so they can have
access to a comprehensive financial plan (up to 500 words).
Note: Students who need assistance determining the approximate premium costs of particular
recommendations should use the internet to research and use the calculations as a guide when answering
assignment questions.
The assessment of the situation which is provided by Elsbeth and John clearly indicates that couple are in
need of a proper insurance product which can secure their future needs and effectively mitigate any risks
which can arise in the future for the clients. The case provided by the clients shows that they are terrified of
any misfortunes or accidents which might befall their family in future as a colleague of John has faced. The
client is in need of health insurance only as the superannuation which is established for them covers all
other types of insurances. The clients therefore need help in deciding which insurance is suitable to their
needs and which can effectively secure their future. On example of a product which the client can select is
life insurance which effectively secures their life. The next important insurance is the insurance against
temporary and permanent disability and in case such a misfortune happens the clients will be compensated
for the same. The last insurance which the client is looking for is the income protection insurance which has
a value of $ 10,00,000. This insurance effectively covers the need of a certain income level of the clients and
in case in misfortunes happen the client would receive fixed income from the insurance in order to
effectively support their living. They can even raise their superannuation coverage amount by increasing
the payment amount from $0.90 per 1000 to $1 per $1000 so that the death coverage financially rises
double their income.
The couple even need to take assistance of accountants and solicitors in order to prepare an effective
financial plan.

Section 4 Part B
Following your conclusions developed in Section 4 Part A, you are now in a position to research products to
meet your clients’ risk management needs. Information on different products and providers is readily
available on the internet, or if you are already working for a licensee you may be able to use those from
your approved product list.
Research and compare three (3) life insurance products of each cover type. List them here, and indicate
why you think these may, or may not, be the ‘best fit’ for Elsbeth and John. At the conclusion of this
process, you will need to have selected the product(s) that you think will meet their needs.

Section 5 — Presenting the SOA
Answer the following questions in the spaces provided. The questions are your opportunity to demonstrate
your ability to negotiate aspects of a plan a client is dissatisfied with, and then to gain their consent to
proceed with your recommendations.
Section 5 Part A
In the space provided, write a script for how you would explain to your clients the rationale for the choice
of one product selection over another (200 words).
The essential requirement is to provide appropriate advice to the client in the selection of an appropriate
insurance product which can live up to their requirements and also ensure that the product is right as in
case of wrong product, the client may incur financial losses and also not get appropriate coverage. The
clients are young and healthy and practically have a whole life ahead of themselves and also has a
responsibility of a child. Therefore, appropriate help is required in selection of an insurance product which
would secure their family. In addition to this, the financial condition of the client are also considered as
costly insurance products cannot be afforded by the client and also the monetary value is expected to fall in
near future. Hence the client must purchase the insurance products which is suggested
Assessor feedback: Resubmission required?
No
Section 5 Part B
Your clients reluctantly agree with your choice, but it is clear they are not 100% satisfied. How will you
proceed with the conversation from this point on? Think about what you aim to achieve from both a client
engagement and compliance perspective. (200 words)
The products which are suggested to the clients have not fully satisfied them and the clients feel that the
three products which are suggested might increase their overall expenses and thereby also affect their
current standard of living. The client need to understand that the current situation is not significant as the
clients now have a child and the uncertainties of the futures needs to be considered by the client. The
client need to considered the tragedies and misfortunes which might affect the clients in future. The use
of inappropriate insurance products would enhance the risks of the business and thereby also affect the
clients directly. Therefore, the client needs to select appropriate products which would secure the couple
in case of death, accidents or permanent or partial disablement. In order to meet and secure their future,
the couple needs to incur insurance costs which would affect the savings of the clients.
Assessor feedback: Resubmission required?
No
Page 37 of 39

Section 5 Part C
Describe how you will conclude this conversation so that you have met all your compliance requirements.
(100 words)
I hope the suggestion which I have provided to you have satisfied you. In case you require any
clarification or update on the insurance products suggested in order to satisfy the concerns effectively.
We will be following up the products and insurance market in order to inform you in case of any changes
takes place in the product or in the market. We will always work for the better and secure future of yours
