Forsyths provides a range of financial advisery services including superannuation planning, wealth protection, portfolio management and succession planning.

"Retirement planning and managing capital longevity in retirement are key areas of interest for retirees at the moment, particularly with proposed changes to taxation such as franking credit refunds, capital gains tax and negative gearing," Mr Benham said.

"This year brings a more challenging investment outlook as well as the potential for interest rate cuts.
