Profile 5 (couple, renters)

About us

We want to invest our super savings in a way that maximises our retirement income. We can tolerate fluctuations from high-risk investments that aim to grow our account balance. We also want flexible access for top ups and emergencies. We’re likely eligible for a part or full Age Pension.

About your profile

With this profile, you’ll get an account-based pension that:

• invests account balance in our high risk, high return option, CSCri Aggressive, to prioritise income maximisation over the long term.

• pays a larger percentage of your balance as an income stream up to age 67, recognising that this may be your primary income before you can apply for Age Pension—this also increases the amount of Age Pension you may be eligible for.

• pays a reduced percentage of your account balance as an income stream when you receive Age Pension to make your balance last as long as possible.

Your investment strategy

Your income drawdown strategy

Your income drawdown is the specific percentage of your retirement account balance that you’ll receive each year as an income stream. The income drawdown strategy changes over the years in line with the strategy for the profile. To work out what your yearly income will be based on the drawdown strategy:

• look up your super account balance
• use the PSSap Retirement Modeller to forecast what your retirement outcome may look like with the drawdown strategy for this profile.

How you’ll receive your retirement income

When you set up a CSCri account, you can choose how often you’d like to receive income stream payments. Choose from fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly. You can change the frequency and make lump sum withdrawals from your CSCri account at any time.
