Superannuation for Women

Monday, 15 October 2012 at 10am (1 hour)

Surveys consistently demonstrate that the level of retirement savings of women tend to be significantly lower than men due to different working patterns, family responsibilities and relationship breakdowns. We can provide members with the tools to make well informed decisions about their financial future. This session is suitable for women of all ages who would like to develop a better understanding of financial matters and be more active in managing their retirement savings.

The webinar will cover issues such as:

  • how much do I need in retirement?
  • government contribution incentives
  • career breaks
  • understanding your investment risk profile
  • accessing benefits
  • superannuation & your estate

Transition to Retirement

Monday, 22 October 2012 at 12pm (1 hour)

The 'transition to retirement' (TTR) option is a government initiative which recognises that members may want to decrease their working hours over time towards the end of their career. It allows members to access their super benefits as an income stream prior to retirement. Some members use it as an opportunity to boost their super benefits overall or just ease into retirement.

This session is suitable for members who are approaching, or over, age 55 and would like an overview of:

  • benefits of TTR
  • converting super to an income stream
  • taxation implications
  • incorporating salary sacrifice to boost super benefits, and
  • aspects to consider when determining if this strategy is appropriate for you
