Benefits of Super
Superannuation has been specifically designed by the Australian Government as its preferred way for you to save for your retirement.
There are many good reasons why you should grow your super as much as possible:
As it is intended as a retirement income stream, your super savings are preserved, meaning you cant access the money unless certain conditions of release are met (e.g. Retired from the work force). So before you throw all your money into super fund, you need to look at your finances as a whole.

Pick the right fund and you’ll be set for a long, happy and comfortable life when you retire. Choose the wrong fund and you could be in a world of pain.

| Date of Birth | Preservation Age |
|---|---|
| 1 July 1960 to 30 June 1961 | 56 |
