Prime Super: Is It Time for a Super Heath Check?

on Thursday, May 14, 2015

We tend to pay a lot of attention to how much money is in our wallet or our bank account, but we generally give little thought to our super – one of the biggest investments of our lives. Give your super a health check today and it could repay you in retirement.

Get It Together

Your super fund can help you consolidate all of your accounts into one and even find accounts you forgot you had – saving you time and money!

Grow Your Super and Pay Less Tax

Super is one of the most tax-effective ways of saving for retirement. Contribute to your account with either pre or after-tax money and you could save on tax while you grow your super balance.

Assess Your Investments

If you do not make an investment choice, your super is usually invested in a ‘balanced’ option. However you can tailor your investments to suit your needs – it may mean more money for you in retirement.

Review Your Insurance

You will have a base or ‘default’ amount of life (death) and disability (TPD) insurance within your super account; but it’s a good idea to ensure you have enough cover to protect you and your family should the worst happen.

Nominate a Beneficiary

Have you nominated someone you would like to receive your super benefit when you die? It is really important to keep your nomination up-to-date, particularly if you have recently married, divorced or had children.
