WAM

I would like your thoughts on WAM, it is trading around $2.35 at the moment.
It is not normally a stock that drifts around too much especially around divided time and especially downwards.
I am a long term holder of WAM, and would appreciate your thoughts.

Advisor fee’s

I would be interested to know what sort of fees I should be expecting to pay my “Wealth Advisor” , and what sort of services are usually provided for the fee. I pay a % of the total SMSF assets, which is currently 0.4% on assets of 2.5million. I negotiated that figure but have no idea where it fits into the ball park of fees.

SWTZ ETF

For the SWTZ etf, do the distributions have franking credits attached, or are all distributions paid out in full and shareholders pay their own tax.
Thank you

SMSF advice

I’m about 2 years out from retirement (even though I may continue on a 2 or 3 day a week basis).
I recently read that, at my age, (69) my SMSF “really shouldn’t be in equities”.
If that is the case, what are the alternatives to equities for an SMSF-er of my age?
I am currently 55% cash, having brought that up from 30% over last few months.

Tax threshold

If a dividend is paid without company tax having been paid already, would the recipient be able to declare the income and if not in a high enough tax bracket still pay no tax. Or if in the lowest bracket only pay 15% at most.
Talking about modest returns here. Would this not be the same result as having franking credits refunded?
