SUPER TRANSITION

Optimal super outcomes do not happen by accident, there are steps to take and informed decisions you must make.

Avaya Australia is undertaking an improvement in how they manage super as a remuneration benefit and have used their bargaining power to negotiate an improved super solution for employees which is cheaper in costs and superior in functionality.

AXIS Financial Group has been engaged to facilitate the transition from Brighter Super to Colonial First State and offer additional service and advice to help every employee better manage their super benefit.

SuperWiser is the online portal that AXIS use to deliver all of this.

COMMON MISTAKES

The most common super mistake is for individuals to remain unconscious of the various super optimisation strategies that are available to them.

To successfully manage super, you must understand how it works and make informed strategic decisions.

Rich people do not become wealthy by remaining unconscious. They consciously decide to manage their assets through various wealth creation strategies, with super being one of them. While most people may not fall into the rich demographic, it does not mean they should not engage with strategies to create more wealth for themselves, be it saving some money, buying a house, or effectively managing super.

Younger people mistakenly ignore their super and miss opportunities to manage it effectively as a wealth creation asset. While older people are perhaps wiser, believing your existing strategy will always have the right balance between growth and defence is a mistake. Your super needs regular attention as retirement gets closer to avoid market shocks. Additionally, once you reach age 60, strategies such as Transition to Retirement potentially help you save on taxes and top up your super balance, so it is worth investigating.
