- If you withdraw in the first 10 years a 30% tax offset applies.
- No personal capital gains tax on investment switches, withdrawals and change of beneficial ownership.
- Select from a range of investment options investing in assets such as Australian and global shares, property, fixed income and cash.
- Receive a one-off rebate on initial investment amounts of $100,000 or greater.
What does it provide?
Death benefit guarantee
The Death Benefit guarantee provides certainty around the minimum amount that will be paid on the death of the last surviving Life Insured, which can be particularly important during times of market uncertainty*.
Investment option guarantee
Offered on four of our nine investment options which are designed to provide certainty around the minimum value of the investment. The nature of the guarantee differs across the Cash, Global Fixed Income, Diversified and Conservative investment options*.
*Terms and conditions apply. Refer to the PDS for more details.
Who is this suitable for?
Our investment bond suits a variety of investor needs.
High income earners
Earnings are taxed at 30% instead of your marginal tax rate. With the 125% rule, not all contributions have to be invested for 10 years to acquire the tax-paid status.
Saving for children and grandchildren
Setup a Child Advancement Policy and (within limits) nominate when ownership transfers to a child. Alternatively children from 10 years of age can invest with parental or guardian consent.
Retirees
Can offer a tax-effective income stream outside of super.
Estate planning and wealth transfer
Our guarantees help protect your capital. No restrictions on who you can nominate and beneficiaries receive the proceeds tax-paid.
Alternative to super
No work test applies to contributions and nor do any contribution or lifetime caps apply. Access your money at any time.
