App to help manage retirement finances


Almost 50 per cent of Australians do not have enough money in the bank to comfortably retire at 65 but can keep better track of their financial health through new technology, according to Collins Mann Private Wealth Management.
As a response, Collins Mann has launched its Nettshell to provide clients future projections of financial health and advice for reaching savings goals.
Developer Mark Collins said the long-term nature of the guidance available through the app could consider all attributes including net cash, loans, debt, and superannuation and was targeted specifically towards baby boomers.
Collins said that while the app provided a solid foundation, financial advisers were still a key component of the advice process.
"Nettshell is a fantastic tool to demonstrate and manage your financial positions, however having financial advisers available for additional support and advice is crucial," he said.
