PAY ATTENTION

Your super is at the beginning stages of becoming a significant asset to support your future lifestyle in retirement. 

The time horizon until you can access your super may seem quite long, but ask anyone older than you, and they will tell you that time passes all too quickly and that gaining wisdom, engaging with your super and ensuring you manage it effectively throughout your career is essential for optimal outcomes.  

To give you some perspective (as a rough estimate), if you are currently employed full time, earning reasonable money but neglect to manage super as a wealth creation asset, your contributions, less fees plus investment returns, may provide you with around $500k of super at age 67.

This figure may sound quite good, but if you actively engage with your super and manage it effectively as a personal asset throughout your career, this figure can increase by around 20% to 40%. 

The difference is quite significant and worth taking the time to investigate further.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Simply put, super is a savings plan used to invest in global markets to try and maximise your return.

Some key points to note are:

  • Super is your money, and you must take action to manage it appropriately.
     
  • Passive investing (i.e. sitting in a default investment option for 40 years) will not optimise your asset.

     

  • Super product providers do not offer personal advice to help you optimise your super. Their advice is general and always limited to their own products.

     

  • If you need assistance with managing your super as a wealth creation asset, engage with an appropriate service provider that can help you make fully informed decisions specific to your circumstances.
