Investment Planning – Build Wealth with Purpose and Strategy
At Acquira Wealth Partners, we believe that successful investing starts with clear goals. Your goals define the purpose behind your investments and guide the decisions needed to achieve them. Whether you’re saving for a house deposit, building a nest egg for retirement, or aiming to preserve wealth and maximise income throughout retirement, each person’s investment journey is unique.
The Importance of Goal-Oriented Investing
Clearly defined goals provide focus and clarity for making sound investment decisions. Your goals should form part of a documented financial plan that adapts over time as your circumstances and priorities change. Our financial advisers on the Gold Coast work closely with you to develop a plan tailored to your objectives, ensuring your investments stay aligned with your life’s vision.
The Power of Long-Term Investing
Investing in high-quality growth assets over the long term is one of the most effective ways to passively build wealth and preserve it for the future. For most investors, the ideal time frame is 5 to 7 years or longer—in fact, many of us are lifelong investors, as our wealth needs to sustain us throughout retirement.
Long-term investing allows you to ride out market fluctuations and benefit from the upward trend of markets over time. Research on the Australian share market shows that 8 out of 10 years on average are positive growth years. While markets may experience short-term corrections, the long-term trend remains upward, rewarding patient investors.
The Andex chart below highlights this trend. It shows that although markets experience occasional V-shaped corrections, these are typically followed by recoveries and sustained growth with a long upward growth trend. Our investment belief document is essential, as it provides foundational knowledge to help all investors achieve success.
Passive vs. Active Investing – Which Is Right for You?
At Acquira Wealth Partners, we emphasize the value of passive investing—buying and holding high-quality assets over time to allow your wealth to grow naturally. Passive investing involves less risk than active strategies and is suitable for most investors seeking long-term financial security.
Passive investments include:
- Shares and ETFs that provide exposure to broad markets
- Property investments held for rental income and long-term appreciation
- Superannuation investments managed for growth and income in retirement
In contrast, active investments—such as renovating property or buying a business—offer the potential for higher returns but come with greater risks. Active investments require time, involvement, and expertise and carry the possibility of significant losses. While active strategies may suit a small group of people, they are not ideal for most investors.
Our financial advisers on the Gold Coast help you determine the right balance between active and passive investing, ensuring your strategy aligns with your risk tolerance, goals, and lifestyle.

The Role of Tax Efficiency in Investing
An essential part of any investment strategy is tax planning. Holding growth investments like shares and property within superannuation offers significant tax advantages. Earnings within super are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%, leaving more of your returns to compound over time. Once your super enters the retirement phase, the tax rate drops to 0%—meaning both income and capital growth are tax-free. This allows your investments to grow even faster, maximizing the long-term benefits of compounding returns.
Our financial advisers on the Gold Coast ensure that your investments are structured to minimize tax liabilities, giving you the greatest opportunity to grow your wealth over time.
