Support more confident retirement income conversations.
Many clients approaching or living in retirement are concerned about whether their savings will last, how much they can spend and if they're making the right decisions. The 2026 Challenger Retirement Happiness Index1 found that while Australians aged 60+ reported positive retirement happiness outcomes overall with a happiness score of 69.5, yet only around half say they feel financially secure. This gap between retirement happiness and financial confidence can highlight the importance of helping clients navigate retirement income decisions with greater clarity and certainty.
Helping clients balance certainty and flexibility
Lifetime income can play an important role in helping clients feel more confident spending in retirement. By providing income for life, a Challenger lifetime annuity can help cover regular expenses, reduce concern about outliving savings and give clients more certainty around the income they can rely on, while allowing flexibility elsewhere in their broader retirement strategy.
Where a Challenger lifetime annuity may help clients:
- Provide income that lasts for life, helping clients manage the risk of outliving their savings
- Support confidence around regular expenses by creating a more predictable income stream
- Give clients greater certainty to spend, rather than holding back out of fear that their money may not last
- Offer inflation-linked income options to help income keep pace with rising living costs
- Help clients balance income and legacy goals by securing part of their income for life keeping other assets available for flexibility, growth or beneficiaries.
- Help increase total retirement income
- Support Age Pension outcomes
