The Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) has launched an account-based retirement income product.
The CSC retirement income product enables PSSAP scheme members to access their retirement savings as a transition to retirement income stream or standard retirement income stream.
It encouraged members that had reached preservation age (55 years old) to consider the new product as it allowed super savings to remain in a tax-effective structure, gave access to a transition to retirement strategy and kept members in the Australian Government super environment.
Features of CSC's retirement income include tax-free payments and withdrawals from age 60, tax-free investment options and reversionary, binding and non-binding beneficiary options.
The super fund announced that Gregory has been appointed to its executive leadership team, taking on the fresh role of chief advice officer.
The deputy governor has warned that, as super funds’ overseas assets grow and liquidity risks rise, they will need to expand their FX hedge books to manage currency exposure effectively.
Super funds have built on early financial year momentum, as growth funds deliver strong results driven by equities and resilient bonds.
The super fund has announced that Mark Rider will step down from his position of chief investment officer (CIO) after deciding to “semi-retire” from full-time work.
