So did Sam find the mistake of the Deferred benefit or did the client tell him the issue ?
That's the clincher as he would have proceeded with the advice without the mistake being found. So who found it ? Or the client would have lost $500k.
As for moving the retirement risk from the Govt guarantee with next to zero fees to a SMSF with full client risk and lots more fees. Mmmmmmm not something I'd back for advice unless some specific circumstances why the Govt guaranteed income wasn't the best option. Ballsy move I'd think.
