Profile 6 (single, renter)

About you

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

About your profile

With this profile, you’ll get a CSCri account-based pension and a Challenger lifetime annuity.

Your CSCri account:

• invests your super in our high risk, high return option, CSCri Aggressive, that prioritises 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.

The Challenger lifetime annuity is called Liquid Lifetime—Flexible Income (Immediate payments). It:

• provides a set income for life, no matter how long you live or what the markets are doing.

• may allow you to get a higher Age Pension—annuity purchases attract a discount when they’re assessed against the Age Pension asset test.

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.

Your monthly annuity payments

Before you take up this profile, you’ll work with a financial adviser who will assist you with the purchase of the Challenger lifetime annuity. Your payments are indexed annually so they keep pace with increases in the CPI.

You can estimate your monthly annuity payments using the PSSap Retirement Modeller.

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.

You will receive your Challenger lifetime annuity payments monthly.
