Pension Choice Fund

Retirement is an exciting time that will present you with many opportunities. Hunter United’s Pension Choice Fund offers you the option of an Account Based Pension or a Transition to Retirement Pension.

With a Pension Choice Fund, you enjoy:

• Payments either monthly, quarterly, half yearly or annually
• Favourable income test treatment
• An easy to use online account
• Access to a range of investment options
• No entry or exit fees
• Competitive $30 annual administration fee

Investment Option A: Account Based Pension

With Hunter United’s Pension Choice Fund, you have access to a regular, flexible and tax-effective source of income during retirement. To be eligible, you must be an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen or permanent resident of Australia and have satisfied a condition which allows the release of your super ('Condition of Release') to roll over to an Account Based Pension.

For example, if you have reached your Preservation Age (age 55 for persons born before 1 July 1960) and have permanently retired from the workforce or are age 65 (whether or not you have permanently retired), you can start an Account Based Pension.

For more information about eligibility to start an Account Based Pension, contact the Super Choice Contact Team on 1300 136 601.

Investment Option B: Transition to Retirement Pension

Hunter United’s Pension Choice Fund gives you access to a regular and tax-effective income from your super without having to leave the workforce permanently.

To start a Transition to Retirement Pension, you must have reached your Preservation Age and still be working. This allows you some access to your preserved and (if applicable) restricted non-preserved super funds.

For more information about 'preserved' and 'restricted non-preserved' super contact the Super Choice Contact Team on 1300 136 601.
