SUPER PERSPECTIVE

To put the importance of your super in perspective, you are now in the homeward stretch toward retirement. Hopefully, you have a healthy amount of super accumulated so far.

Now more than ever, it is imperative to actively engage with your super and consider how to optimally manage it as you progress through this next stage before retirement.

The shorter your time horizon left in the workforce, the greater the need for the right balance between growing and protecting what you have already accumulated.

A financially secure retirement is the end result of effective pre-retirement super planning.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The first step to optimally manage your super is to review your current strategy, determine if any risks could significantly diminish your asset, and update accordingly.  

Some key points to note are:

  • MySuper is a default strategy, not an optimisation strategy (there is a difference).

     

  • Anyone currently invested in the MySuper investment default or any investment exposed to growth assets can benefit from discussing their super strategy with a knowledgeable source.

     

  • An actively managed investment strategy is necessary to protect your accumulated super asset.

     

  • For those currently 60 years or older, a transition to retirement strategy could boost your super by paying less tax and salary-sacrificing more while on the same cash flow.
