The Evolving Financial Needs of Australians

 

The Australian financial landscape is undergoing significant change.

 

The well documented ‘great intergenerational wealth transfer’ is already underway, and the Federal Government has announced their intention to increase the tax payable on large superannuation balances from 1 July 2025.

 

Our EOFY offer may assist with building and managing wealth through these changes with ongoing benefits that last for the life of the policy.(1)

 

Why choose an investment bond?

Investment bonds provide unique tax advantages that support a range of investment and financial planning scenarios

  • Investment Bonds have a maximum tax-rate of 30% which can be further reduced by tax credits.
  • Fully tax-paid after 10-years, with nothing to pay personally while invested and therefore nothing to report to the ATO.
  • No contributions cap in the first year, and contribute up to 125% of the previous years contribution in subsequent years.
  • Funds are accessible anytime without restriction. Where withdrawals are made prior to the 10-year period, earnings are assessed at the marginal tax-rate, minus the 30% offset.
  • Switch between investment options without triggering a tax event.
  • Individual or joint ownership, company or tax structures. Nominate any beneficiary and control how your wealth is transferred.
