Create an income stream in retirement
When you retire and/or reach a certain age, you can access your super benefits as a lump sum or as a superannuation pension, also known as an income stream.
A super pension is different from the government Age Pension. When you reach your preservation age, an REI Super Pension account allows you to keep your super invested while drawing on a regular tax effective income.
The Age Pension however, is designed to provide a “safety net” for those who do not have enough superannuation or other financial resources to provide an adequate retirement income, and you can often draw on a full or partial government Age Pension at the same time as taking an income from your super pension.
