Profile 7 (couple, renters)
About us
We want flexible access to our retirement savings for emergencies, top ups and even occasional, large withdrawals before we’re 67. We’re likely eligible for a full Age Pension.
About your profile
With this profile, you’ll get an account-based pension that:
-
invests in our balanced option, CSCri Balanced, to prioritise income stability 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 may also increase 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
| Account name | Investment |
|---|---|
| CSCri Standard income stream | Invests 100% in CSCri Balanced, which has a targeted return of CPI +3.5% per year after fees and tax, over a 10-year period. |
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 change 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 model 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.
