Superannuation for all ages

A brief guide to the superannuation strategies that suit different stages of life.

Superannuation is a key part of building a secure future. Low tax rates on contributions and investment earnings mean that, for most people, superannuation is the best vehicle for long-term wealth creation.

Build your super

Here’s our brief guide to the superannuation strategies that suit different stages of life.

Young, single and starting out

Retirement is a long way off, but starting early lays the foundations for future comfort.

Mortgaged with children

Your focus may be on repaying the home loan, but don’t forget your super entirely. Having a mortgage and young children means insurance should be a top priority.

Middle years

A higher income and a smaller mortgage open up the opportunity to boost your superannuation.

Retirement boost

Over 55s enjoy some great incentives to contribute to superannuation.

  • Consider easing into retirement with a transition to retirement strategy
  • Combine salary sacrifice with a transition to retirement pension
  • Investment earnings on your pension are tax free
  • Start detailed retirement planning.

Down tools

You’ve made it. For retirees over 60, withdrawals and pension payments are tax free!

  • Review your investment risk. Keep enough growth in your portfolio to ensure your money lasts as long as you do
  • Review your insurance
  • Keep active and enjoy life.
