Knowing how much super you have is the first step – and by choosing a strong long-term performing fund, you’re taking control of your super and can retire with confidence.

Make the most of your retirement savings

Turn your super into a regular income

Receiving regular payments, gives you control over how much you have to spend in retirement. Plus, you can also use that income from your Choice Income account based pension to top up any Government Age Pension payments you’re eligible for.

Control how often you’re paid

You can set up how much and how often income gets paid into your bank account5. And access extra money to pay for bills, holidays, or other big-ticket items at any time. If you’re 60 or over, regular income payments and withdrawals are tax free.

Keep growing your super

Because your super balance stays invested after you’ve retired, a Choice Income account could make your money go even further. You can decide exactly how you want your savings invested, or let our experts manage it for you.
