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.
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.
- Maximise your Government co-contribution - it will add thousands to your super savings
- Review the insurance cover you have through your super
- Pick an investment strategy that suits your long-term risk profile.
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.
- Review your death and total and permanent disablement insurance through your superannuation fund and make sure you have enough cover
- Check eligibility for a tax offset on spouse superannuation contributions and any Government co-contribution
- Review your investment strategy and risk profile.
Middle years
A higher income and a smaller mortgage open up the opportunity to boost your superannuation.
- Find out how salary sacrifice can lift your savings
- Review your insurance cover and investment risk profile.
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.
