For over 30 years Paul Melling Retirement Planning specialised in providing financial advice to retirees and to those close to retirement.  Paul Melling Retirement Planning has always had a conservative investment focus with great emphasis placed on security of income in retirement.  Paul Melling Retirement Planning no longer accepts new retail financial advice clients.  Melling Capital Management was established in 2014 to provide portfolio management capabilities to investors who meet the definition of “wholesale client” under the Corporations Act. Generally this means having net assets of at least $2.5 million and the ability to invest in excess of $500,000 outside of superannuation.

PAUL MELLING

Paul qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries in 1972. He worked as an actuary in the insurance/superannuation industry in Australia from 1973 to 1985. During those years, Paul was responsible for the development of a number of new, attractive investment products including the insurance bond, the immediate annuity and the deferred annuity.

In 1985 Paul established Paul Melling & Associates Pty Limited and concentrated on retirement planning (Paul Melling Retirement Planning). During this period Paul developed a unique Retirement Income Model which enables clients to gain a good insight into the likely long-term advantages and disadvantages of various investment strategies that they could follow during their retirement years. With the use of the Retirement Income Model clients could enjoy Peace of Mind in their retirement years.

Paul wrote extensively on the topic of security of income in retirement in the Age newspaper in the 1990's, as well as in his client-only Investment Today newsletters
