Is your retirement advice built to last?

The retirement landscape is undergoing a profound transformation. Australians are now living longer, with the Australian life expectancy estimated at 88 for men and 90 for women at both ages 65 and 671. While a longer life is a gift, it brings a challenge: longevity risk - and many face the real risk of outliving their retirement savings. 

As a financial adviser, you have an opportunity to help clients secure a confident retirement with income that lasts a lifetime.

There are no product fees. If your client is 60 or over investing with super monies the income they receive from their annuity is tax-free. 

 

Guaranteed death benefits 

Our Liquid Lifetime Annuity offers a guaranteed death benefit period based on your clients' life expectancy, up to a maximum of 27 years. It can be up to 100% of the amount invested and is payable directly to the beneficiaries your clients nominate or their estate.2

The death benefit equals 100% of the amount invested for the first half of the death benefit period (rounded down to a whole year) and then progressively reduces from approximately 50% down to nil over the remaining years. Importantly we don’t reduce the death benefit for any income that has already been paid to your client.
