How MyNorth Lifetime Super works 

Your clients can open a MyNorth Lifetime Super account at any age up to 64 years and ten months. It’s pretty similar to a standard accumulation account, except it seamlessly converts to paying lifetime income when they retire.     

As an Innovative Retirement Income Stream, your clients may receive a social security concession on purchase amounts and then once they retire, a further discount of 40% on the asset test, maximising their Age Pension.

Case study

 

Tina is 40 years of age and decides to put $100,000 of her superannuation balance into a MyNorth Lifetime Super account.

She does not make any further contributions and receives 6% net earnings each year on her balance.

By the age of 65 her MyNorth Lifetime Super balance has compounded annually by the investment earnings she has made and is worth $429,187.

At this time, her MyNorth Lifetime Super purchase amount has also compounded annually by the upper deeming rate of  3.25% (regardless of her actual investment returns) and she now has a purchase amount of  $222,460.

Once Tina becomes eligible to receive Age Pension at age 67, her purchase amount will be subject to a further 40% discount for the purpose of her Centrelink assets test. As such, only  $133,476 (60% of her purchase amount which is also equivalent to 28% of her actual account balance) will be assessable by Centrelink for the calculation of her fortnightly Age Pension.

As such, Tina could be eligible to receive up to an additional $890  in Age Pension each fortnight that she would otherwise not receive had the full value of her MyNorth Lifetime assets been assessable2.
