Debt Management and Lending
Managing debt can be a complex task. Whether you have debt against your home or an investment, Fortuna Financial can help you take control of your debt.
When managed properly, debt can in fact help you reach your financial goals, faster.
Our Financial Advisers utilize a unique system and work with you to effectively eliminate bad debt or develop strategies to turn your bad debt into good tax-deductible debt.
The Strategy
This strategy involves the conversion of the non-deductible debt of a home loan into a tax deductible debt of a wealth building investment loan. The primary objective is to reduce the non-deductible debt faster than just making regular repayments, while accumulating wealth. Additional exposure is created through increasing tax efficient investment debt.
Broadly, debt recycling works as follows:
- All surplus cash flow, after the interest is paid on the investment loan (line of credit), is used to reduce a non- deductible home loan, thereby more rapidly increasing equity in the home. Home loan repayments are ‘Principal and
Interest’ while the investment loan payments are ‘Interest Only’. - All investment earnings, franking credits, tax refunds and other surplus cash flow, after paying the investment loan interest, should be used to further reduce the home loan and increase equity in the home.
- Over time, amounts equivalent to the increase in equity should be drawn down and invested in growth investments.
The above process is repeated over future years in a disciplined manner to reduce the non-deductible home loan more rapidly, whilst increasing investments into growth and or high yielding assets.
Why recycle debt?
This strategy has a number of benefits, some of which are immediate and others realised over time. The key benefits are:
By directing investment and other available income into a home loan, there is the opportunity to reduce it faster and therefore save on interest.
The interest on the funds borrowed for investment purposes is tax deductible. This will reduce the cost of capital.
Borrowing to invest can provide tax effectiveness through the deductibility of interest
There will be a larger investment portfolio working for you.
Investing at regular intervals reduces the timing risk in volatile markets, ensuring a disciplined approach to investing.
also utilizing our expertise and investing in non correlated investments that provide high yields will help avoid volatility. reduce risk and provide income to service debt and any interest expenses
As well as providing flexibility, debt recycling provides for a diversified approach to creating wealth for your retirement. It can reduce the risk of adverse legislation changes regarding your retirement savings inside superannuation.
Investing immediately rather than waiting for the mortgage to be repaid allows the power of compounding to start working earlier.

Moving into residential aged care can be a complicated and stressful process. There are a number of issues to consider depending on the level of care needed, the length of stay required and a person’s current level of assets and income.
We assist our clients in dealing with nursing home costs such as Refundable Accommodation Deposit or RAD (previously known as accommodation bond), Daily Accommodation Payment (DAP), Means Tested Care Fee, and basic daily care fees.
These fees are often complex and difficult to understand, thus causing stress for many families. If either you or a loved one is facing the possibility of moving into aged care, the best place to start is by making sure you understand all of the options available to you. This is where good financial advice can help. With the right advice you can be sure you will achieve the best possible outcome in relation to fees paid and age pension entitlements received.

It allows everyone to prepare for the potential financial impacts ahead of time, which may reduce the burden placed on them in the future.
