SUPER TRANSITION
Optimal super outcomes do not happen by accident, there are steps to take and informed decisions you must make.
Coogee Chemicals 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 with Colonial First State, which is cheaper in costs and superior in functionality
Coogee Chemicals encourages you to make an informed choice and has engaged AXIS Financial Group to offer service and advice to help every employee effectively manage their super benefit consistent with good wealth management practices.
SuperWiser is the online portal that AXIS uses to deliver this service.
All super product providers want your super, and each provider has a preferred methodology for marketing their brand. As your super may well become your most significant asset in retirement, it is essential to regularly review your existing super strategy against others in the market to ensure you do not miss opportunities to do better and create more wealth for yourself.
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 many opportunities to manage it effectively as a wealth creation asset. While older people might not realise how exposed their super is to growth assets and what might happen in investment markets a year or two before they retire. Older people also tend to miss the opportunity to save on taxes and top up their super balance by using a Transition to Retirement strategy once they reach age 60.
