I’ve spent 27 years as a physiotherapist. I’ve worked alongside some of the smartest people in healthcare — doctors, surgeons, specialists, allied health professionals who are genuinely exceptional at what they do.
Most of them have no idea what’s happening to their super.
They’re busy. Clinics to run, patients to see, school fees to pay, mortgages to manage. So they tick the default fund box and move on. Maybe they pay a financial planner 1% a year to put them in a balanced fund. Everyone acts like that’s just how it works.
It doesn’t have to be.
The US portion of my SMSF has returned 219% running a simple, rules-based momentum strategy focused on the Nasdaq. No stock picking. No gut feel. No paying someone else to make decisions I could make myself with a bit of education and discipline.
I’m not a finance professional. I’m a physio who got curious, did the work, and started managing my own money systematically.
The one thing I wish someone had told me ten years ago? Start investing in the Nasdaq systematically. Learn the basics. Do it yourself. Don’t wait.
That’s what this site is about. Not tips. Not hot stock picks. Just a health professional sharing what’s actually working — so you don’t spend another decade in a default fund going nowhere while your colleagues with less income build more wealth.
Your super deserves better than the default.
