Your Strata Fund, 10-year maintenance plan and you. The  Australian Strata  landscape is a little odd, filled with names and terms that can change from state to state and can be unwieldy to the uninitiated. Even for those who may have grown up in  buildings with a strata plan , outside of perhaps the payment of strata levies, the level of knowledge (and interest!) in what happens inside the ‘strata machine’ may not always be clear. This article hopes to shine some light on the terms and financial components of strata at a high level. The state determines the name. Firstly is the naming conventions.

Introducing Strata Guardian

It’s no secret that we are now faced with a world of low-interest rates, propelled by the coronavirus pandemic and its associated poor economic conditions. Even before the pandemic, cash and term deposit interest rates have been gradually declining, decreasing the long-term viability of term deposits as a useful investment option for those seeking a reasonable return without taking on too much risk. The more significant issue at hand now is not the risk of losing capital but the genuine risk of  not having enough  when the time comes to employ the funds for their intended purpose. This dilemma is the same for people saving for a home, retirement, or indeed for a group of lot holders looking to replace a significant building component. As central banks the world over have slashed interest rates to stimulate the economy, it also has the intended effect of making term deposits and cash at call interest rates now, not a viable investment.
