Our advice Your goals are the foundation of our advice. The most important thing is that we understand what’s
important to you and what financial success means for you.
Why have you sought advice? ⎯ “I would like to review my super now that I am 65 to ensure everything is set up in the way it should
be.”
What we will provide advice on The table below summarises the goals that have been agreed with you to be addressed in our advice.
Areas of advice Goals Priority
Superannuation / Retirement income / Cash flow / Super contributions
You would like to review the structure of your retirement savings to ensure you are structuring and growing your funds in the most tax-efficient manner for your future retirement at age 70. You would like to remain invested in line with your individual preferences, whilst exploring strategies to further grow your funds through fee and tax savings. You have no specific income needs in retirement and feel you will survive comfortably off the age pension. You, therefore, wish to ensure you are doing all you can to maximise the growth of your retirement savings
High
Estate Planning (Limited to beneficiary nominations)
You would like to ensure your family will receive all of your superannuation benefits in event of your passing with minimal tax withheld
High
What we will not provide advice on The table below outlines the areas of advice that you do not wish to receive advice on. By not receiving
advice on these matters, you may not have appropriate strategies in place to assist you in achieving any
goals you may have in these areas.
Retirement Planning
Reasons for not providing advice
You are not seeking any advice in relation to your retirement planning needs as you feel you will comfortably survive off the age pension as yourself and your wife live a very simple lifestyle on your farm you gifted to your child 6 years ago (Veronique’s son).
Risks of not addressing advice By not addressing this area of advice, you may be not addressing the long-term impacts of your strategy on your retirement.
When this will be addressed This will be addressed at your request/review or as required.
Insurances
Reasons for not providing advice You are not seeking any insurance-related advice as you currently hold no insurance inside super and do not wish to look to establish any as you are focused on growing your retirement savings.
Risks of not addressing advice
By not addressing this area of advice, you and your family may be financially vulnerable in the event you pass prematurely, become permanently disabled, suffer a medically traumatic illness, or unable to work because of disability or illness.
When this will be addressed This will be addressed at your request/review or as required.
Page 8 of 62
Budgeting
Reasons for not providing advice You are comfortable with your existing cash flow/expenditure as you live a very simple lifestyle and did not wish to seek any advice in relation to this.
Risks of not addressing advice By not addressing this area of advice, you may not be able to arrange your cash flow and budget in line with your needs.
When this will be addressed This will be addressed at your request/review or as required.
Centrelink
Reasons for not providing advice You are not seeking any Centrelink related advice as of right now and would do so upon retiring at age 70 if you feel you could not organize these yourselves.
Risks of not addressing advice By not addressing this area of advice, you may not be able to fully know what Centrelink benefits you are eligible to receive.
When this will be addressed This will be addressed at your request/review or as required.
Advice for spouse
Reasons for not providing advice You are unsure as to what benefits your wife held inside super and only wanted to address your own needs at this stage and then you would like me to discuss any areas I may be able to help with Veronique.
Risks of not addressing advice By not addressing both of your goals, you may not be able to provide the degree of comprehensiveness that you otherwise could.
When this will be addressed This will be addressed at your request/review or as required.

Our recommendations
Transfer more into your account-based pension Your retirement savings are currently held within a super accumulation account and an account-based
pension account. To transfer funds from your super into your pension account, you would first need to
transfer all the funds from your pension account into your super fund, before starting a new pension
account with the new balance.
To make sure you are in the most tax-effective position for retirement, we recommend you do the
following:
⎯ Transfer the full balance from your pension account to your super account.
⎯ Start a new pension account with the new balance.
1. Rollback the entire balance of your existing account-based pension to its accumulation phase, as per
the table below:
2. Once your rolled back pension benefits have been received, rollover the full balance of your existing
AMP Flexible Super – Super account to your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super,
as per the table below:
*Balance is the consolidated balance of your existing super and pension fund. This balance is net of the initial plan fee.
3. We recommend you retain $1,500 in your CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super.
We recommend you invest your CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super as follows:
CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super % $
CFS W/S Index Balanced 100.00% $1,500.00
Total 100.00% $1,500.00
We recommend you make a binding (non-lapsing) nomination on your super account in favour of your
preferred beneficiary or beneficiaries.
4. Once your rolled over super benefits have been received, roll over the majority of your recommended
CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super to your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal
Pension as per the table below:

CFS W/S Index Balanced 100.00% $135,482.77
Total 100.00% $135,482.77
5. Drawdown $30,000 for this financial year as pension payment from your recommended account-based
pension, as per the table below:
Furthermore, we recommend that:
⎯ We recommend your pension income be drawn from the CFS W/S Index Balanced investment.
Drawing your pension payment from the lowest risk underlying investment will minimise its
subjectivity to market volatility and will give the higher risk underlying investment options a
greater opportunity to grow without being drawn upon.
⎯ We recommend you make a binding (non-lapsing) nomination on your pension account in favour
of your preferred beneficiary or beneficiaries.
Benefits to you
▪ You will remain invested in line with your risk profile to ensure you still hold a sufficient level of growth
assets within your retirement savings. You will be maximising the funds you hold within the tax-free
environment of your allocated pension to further increase the growth of your funds.
▪ Drawing your pension payment from the cash account will ensure that your income payments are not
subject to market volatility and will give the market-linked investment options a greater opportunity to
grow without being drawn upon.
▪ As you are over 60 years of age, your pension payments will continue to be tax-free.
▪ As you will have a larger balance available in your pension account, this allows you to increase the
level of tax-effective income that you can draw.
Things to consider
▪ During the transfer process, your super will have time out of the market as the funds will need to be
sold down before the transfer can occur. During this time, you cannot take advantage of any positive
market fluctuations.
▪ A change in investments may alter the risk and/or return of your portfolio. When you invest, switch, or
withdraw all or part of your investment, a buy-sell or transaction fee may be charged by the fund
manager. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
▪ Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may be incurred on the sale of your super investments if you follow our
recommendation. This may be reflected in the final balance available in your existing fund. We are
unable to estimate what the capital gain will be because your super fund does not provide information
that enables us to determine a potential gain or loss. We recommend you discuss CGT implications
with your tax adviser. We will not proceed with this transaction until you permit us to proceed.
▪ Unexpected earnings resulting in a taxable component can occur anytime there is a delay in moving
funds from super to pension phase.
Pension Payment Annual Amount Annual Amount
Minimum annual pension allowed (2.5% covid rate for this FY)
$3,387 The balance will depend on
market fluctuations
Maximum annual pension allowable (100%) $135,483 The balance will depend on
market fluctuations
Recommended pension drawdown $30,000 for this FY $32,100 for FY 2022/23
Page 14 of 62
▪ The amount able to be transferred into a retirement pension is capped at a total of $1.7 million.
Where total retirement pensions exceed this $1.7 million cap, the total value of these retirement
pensions will need to be reduced to comply with the cap. An ‘excess balance tax’ will otherwise apply.
▪ Where an individual accumulates superannuation amounts of more than $1.7 million, they can retain
this excess in a superannuation accumulation account. Alternatively, the excess can be removed
from the superannuation system and invested ‘outside’ of superannuation once a suitable condition of
release has been met.
▪ Once your pension has commenced, you will not be able to make additional contributions to your
balance. If additional contributions are required, your pension account will need to be rolled back to
super and restarted.
▪ By drawing a level of income higher than the minimum, you will be depleting your pension account
balance at a faster rate. This may impact your final retirement capital and hence the retirement
income you can achieve. However, it ensures you meet your current income need which is important
to you.
Page 15 of 62
Make a personal deductible contribution You would like to review the structure of your retirement savings to ensure you are structuring and
growing your funds in the most tax-efficient manner for your future retirement at age 70.
Between 2018/19 financial year to now, your total concessional contribution threshold over this period is
$75,000 – your concessional contribution cap is $25,000 per annum. You have made/received
contributions of $40,784.12 during this time, this means you have $34,215.88 of the unused cap.
We recommend that you contribute to super. The following table details our recommendation.
Make a personal deductible contribution
+We have anticipated your ongoing contributions based on your circumstances now. If any change were to occur, this advice may
not be appropriate for you. We recommend that we review your situation at least annually and prior to any further contributions
being made.
When you make a personal deductible contribution, you are contributing your after-tax dollars into your
super fund and claiming a tax deduction on the contributed amounts. Personal deductible super
contributions are a type of concessional contribution which is typically taxed at a maximum rate of 15%
when paid into your super fund.
We have agreed that the concessional contribution amount shown in the table above is the most you can
afford to contribute to your super without exceeding the concessional contribution cap.
We recommend the contributions be invested in line with your investment strategy.
Benefits to you
▪ You will be able to accumulate more wealth since earnings within super may be taxed at a lower rate
compared to investments outside of super. Any earnings derived from contributions into your super
are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. This is typically a lower tax rate when compared to earnings
outside of super which is taxed at your marginal tax rate.
▪ You will benefit from an overall tax saving as your concessional contributions will be taxed at a rate of
15%, which is less than your marginal tax rate.
▪ Your contributions will not exceed the contribution cap; therefore, you will not be subject to any
excess cap penalties.
▪ You can use these funds to pay for your insurance premiums.
Things to consider
▪ The recommended contributions will have an impact on your cash flow.
▪ As your income is below $250,000 per annum, your concessional contributions will be taxed at a rate
of 15%.

The following scenario comparisons provide an illustration of the benefits and differences, with and
without making personal deductible contributions, and do not consider any other factors that may affect
your tax payable. This will bear the following savings on your tax amounts:

Total tax payable / (refundable) $15,262 $9,437
Personal Tax Savings - $10,325
Total Tax Savings - $5,825
Page 17 of 62
Make non-concessional contribution into super We recommend you to make a non-concessional contribution to super using the tax savings you get from
making a personal deductible contribution order to grow your retirement funds tax effectively. The
following table details our recommendation.
Make a lump-sum non-concessional contribution to super
*The non-concessional contribution made into super is equivalent to the tax-saving after making the personal deductible
contribution.
+We have anticipated your ongoing contributions based on your circumstances now. If any change were to occur, this advice may
not be appropriate for you. We recommend that we review your situation at least annually and prior to any further contributions
being made.
A non-concessional contribution involves you contributing your after-tax dollars into your super fund.
Since the tax has already been paid on your income, and you are not claiming a tax deduction on these
amounts, non-concessional contributions don’t get taxed when your super fund receives them.
We have agreed that the non-concessional amounts shown in the table above are the most you can
afford to contribute to your super.
We recommend the contributions be invested in line with your investment strategy.
Benefits to you
▪ You will be able to accumulate more wealth since earnings within super may be taxed at a lower rate
compared to investments outside of super. Any earnings derived from contributions into your super
are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. This is typically a lower tax rate when compared to earnings
outside of super which is taxed at your marginal tax rate.
▪ Your contributions will not exceed the contribution cap; therefore, you will not be subject to any
excess cap penalties.
Things to consider
▪ A non-concessional contribution can only be made if your total superannuation balance is under $1.6
million as of 30 June of the previous financial year.
▪ Based on the information that you have provided to us, the recommended contribution amount is
within your relevant non-concessional contributions cap. There will be tax consequences for
contributions that exceed this cap. Please let us know if you have made any other non-concessional
contributions in this financial year or over the last two financial years that you have not told us about,
as this may affect our advice. Also, please first seek our advice before making contributions over our
recommendations. For information about contribution caps, please refer to the Product Disclosure
Statement.
▪ If you make excess non-concessional contributions, excess contributions tax may be payable.
However, you will be allowed to withdraw those excess contributions and 85% of an associated
earnings amount – calculated based on a formula. If this option is chosen, no excess contributions
tax will be payable, and the associated earnings will be taxed at your marginal tax rate, less a 15%
tax offset. If the excess contributions are left in the fund, they will be taxed at the top marginal tax rate
plus Medicare levy.

Carry out a "pension refresh" of the recommended account-based pension Once the recommendations set above are implemented, we recommend you to carry out a pension
refresh of your account-based pension. To do this, you would first need to transfer all the funds from your
pension account into your super fund, before starting a pension account with the new balance (this is
known as a pension refresh strategy).
To make sure you are in the most tax-effective position for retirement, we recommend you do the
following:
1. Rollback the entire balance of your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Pension to
your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super, as per the table below:
*Balance is net of $30,000 drawdown contributed into super as a personal deductible contribution.
2. We recommend you retain $1,500 in your CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super.
3. Once your rolled back pension benefits have been received, rollover majority of your super balance
to your recommended account-based pension, as per the table below:
*Balance is the remaining balance after retaining $1,500 in super. This balance is the consolidated balance of pension and super account.
We recommend you invest your pension and super funds in line with your investment strategy detailed in
the previous section. Your underlying pension and super funds will be invested in 100% CFS W/S Index
Balanced.
Benefits to you
▪ You will be refreshing your account annually to ensure you continue to hold as much funds possible
inside the allocated pension leading up to retirement.
▪ As you are over 60 years of age, your pension payments will continue to be tax-free.
Things to consider
▪ During the transfer process, your super will have time out of the market as the funds will need to be
sold down before the transfer can occur. During this time, you cannot take advantage of any positive
market fluctuations.
▪ A change in investments may alter the risk and/or return of your portfolio. When you invest, switch, or
withdraw all or part of your investment, a buy-sell or transaction fee may be charged by the fund
manager. Please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
▪ Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may be incurred on the sale of your super investments if you follow our
recommendation. This may be reflected in the final balance available in your existing fund. We are
unable to estimate what the capital gain will be because your super fund does not provide information
that enables us to determine a potential gain or loss. We recommend you discuss CGT implications
with your tax adviser. We will not proceed with this transaction until you permit us to proceed.

▪ You are required to draw a minimum (currently 2.5%) pension payment from your account-based
pension every financial year.
▪ The minimum legislated amount of income that must be drawn:
⎯ Is calculated based on your age, and the value of your account-based pension when it
commences.
⎯ Is recalculated on 1 July each year based on the value of your account-based pension at that
time.
⎯ Will be pro-rata based on the number of days remaining in the financial year, where you have
started your pension on a day other than 1 July.
▪ Unexpected earnings resulting in a taxable component can occur anytime when there is a delay in
moving funds from the super to pension phase.
▪ The amount able to be transferred into a retirement pension is capped at a total of $1.6 million.
Where total retirement pensions exceed this $1.6 million cap, the total value of these retirement
pensions will need to be reduced to comply with the cap. An ‘excess balance tax’ will otherwise apply.
Transitional arrangements will apply for individuals as of 1 July 2017 if the excess capital in
retirement pensions is less than $100,000.
▪ Where an individual accumulates superannuation amounts of more than $1.6 million, they can retain
this excess in a superannuation accumulation account. Alternatively, the excess can be removed
from the superannuation system and invested ‘outside’ of superannuation once a suitable condition of
release has been met.

Make a personal deductible contribution You would like to review the structure of your retirement savings to ensure you are structuring and
growing your funds in the most tax-efficient manner for your future retirement at age 70.
We recommend that you contribute to super. The following table details our recommendation.
Make a personal deductible contribution
+We have anticipated your ongoing contributions based on your circumstances now. If any change were to occur, this advice may
not be appropriate for you. We recommend that we review your situation at least annually and prior to any further contributions
being made.
When you make a personal deductible contribution, you are contributing your after-tax dollars into your
super fund and claiming a tax deduction on the contributed amounts. Personal deductible super
contributions are a type of concessional contribution which is typically taxed at a maximum rate of 15%
when paid into your super fund.
We have agreed that the concessional contribution amount shown in the table above is the most you can
afford to contribute to your super.
We recommend the contributions be invested in line with your investment strategy.
Benefits to you
▪ You will be able to accumulate more wealth since earnings within super may be taxed at a lower rate
compared to investments outside of super. Any earnings derived from contributions into your super
are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. This is typically a lower tax rate when compared to earnings
outside of super which is taxed at your marginal tax rate.
▪ You will benefit from an overall tax saving as your concessional contributions will be taxed at a rate of
15%, which is less than your marginal tax rate.
▪ Your contributions will not exceed the contribution cap; therefore, you will not be subject to any
excess cap penalties.
▪ You can use these funds to pay for your insurance premiums.
Things to consider
▪ The recommended contributions will have an impact on your cash flow.
▪ As your income is below $250,000 per annum, your concessional contributions will be taxed at a rate
of 15%.

The following scenario comparisons provide an illustration of the benefits and differences, with and
without making personal deductible contributions, and do not consider any other factors that may affect
your tax payable. This will bear the following savings on your tax amounts:

Total Tax Savings - $6,141
*We have assumed that your income is indexed at AWOTE. Awote rate is 2.80% per annum and is applied to all income annually.
Page 22 of 62
Make non-concessional contribution into super We recommend you to make a non-concessional contribution to super using the tax savings you get from
making a personal deductible contribution order to grow your retirement funds tax effectively. The
following table details our recommendation.
Make a lump-sum non-concessional contribution to super
*The non-concessional contribution made into super is equivalent to the tax-saving after making the personal deductible contribution
detailed above.
+We have anticipated your ongoing contributions based on your circumstances now. If any change were to occur, this advice may
not be appropriate for you. We recommend that we review your situation at least annually and prior to any further contributions
being made.
A non-concessional contribution involves you contributing your after-tax dollars into your super fund.
Since the tax has already been paid on your income, and you are not claiming a tax deduction on these
amounts, non-concessional contributions don’t get taxed when your super fund receives them.
We have agreed that the non-concessional amounts shown in the table above are the most you can
afford to contribute to your super.
We recommend the contributions be invested in line with your investment strategy.
Benefits to you
▪ You will be able to accumulate more wealth since earnings within super may be taxed at a lower rate
compared to investments outside of super. Any earnings derived from contributions into your super
are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%. This is typically a lower tax rate when compared to earnings
outside of super which is taxed at your marginal tax rate.
▪ Your contributions will not exceed the contribution cap; therefore, you will not be subject to any
excess cap penalties.
Things to consider
▪ A non-concessional contribution can only be made if your total superannuation balance is under $1.6
million as of 30 June of the previous financial year.
▪ Based on the information that you have provided to us, the recommended contribution amount is
within your relevant non-concessional contributions cap. There will be tax consequences for
contributions that exceed this cap. Please let us know if you have made any other non-concessional
contributions in this financial year or over the last two financial years that you have not told us about,
as this may affect our advice. Also, please first seek our advice before making contributions over our
recommendations. For information about contribution caps, please refer to the Product Disclosure
Statement.
▪ If you make excess non-concessional contributions, excess contributions tax may be payable.
However, you will be allowed to withdraw those excess contributions and 85% of an associated
earnings amount – calculated based on a formula. If this option is chosen, no excess contributions
tax will be payable, and the associated earnings will be taxed at your marginal tax rate, less a 15%
tax offset. If the excess contributions are left in the fund, they will be taxed at the top marginal tax rate
plus Medicare levy.

Page 23 of 62
Set up a super re-contribution strategy We have reviewed your situation and recommend you put in place a super re-contribution strategy using
your existing pension benefits. A super re-contribution strategy involves withdrawing a lump sum from
your pension balance and re-contributing this amount back into super as an after-tax contribution. This
will increase the tax-free portion of your pension balance.
To make sure you are in the most tax-effective position for retirement, we recommend you do the
following:
1. We recommend you roll back your pension to its accumulation phase, as detailed in the table below:
*Balance above does not consider investment growth. Balance is net of $32,100 drawdown contributed into super detailed in the section above.
2. We recommend you make a lump sum withdrawal from your super fund as follows:
*Balance above does not consider investment growth and is the consolidated balance of your pension and super balance (includes $1,500 balance in super, $32,100 concessional contribution, and $10,325 non-concessional contribution).
As you are over 60, the total lump sum super withdrawal will be tax-free.
3. Once the funds have been received in your bank account, we recommend you make an after-tax
contribution with the net withdrawal monies back to your CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal super
fund as follows:
Investment Amount
CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super $148,807.77
We recommend the contribution be invested in line with your investment strategy.
4. We recommend you to retain $1,500 in CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super detailed as
follows:
Investment Amount
CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super $1,500.00
5. We recommend you to rollover the remaining balance to the recommended CFS FirstChoice
Wholesale Personal Pension detailed as follows:
*Balance does not consider investment growth.
We recommend you invest your pension and super funds in line with your investment strategy detailed in
the previous section. Your underlying pension and super funds will be invested in 100% CFS W/S Index
Balanced.

Benefits to you
▪ The recommended strategy is designed to help you optimise the tax-free monies held within your
super funds.
▪ Converting more of your super benefits to a tax-free component will:
⎯ Increase the tax-free portion of your income stream payments, and reduce the amount included in
your assessable income when you commence a pension.
⎯ Give you estate planning benefits as your non-dependant beneficiaries will not have to pay tax on
the tax-free portion of the super benefits they receive if you were to die. The benefits of this
strategy to your beneficiaries are shown in the table below (based on today’s value of your super
benefit).
▪ Your contributions will not exceed the contribution cap; therefore, you will not be subject to any
excess cap penalties.
This table illustrates the expected impact of our advice on the taxable composition of your super.
Before our advice After our advice
Tax free component $0 $148,807.77
Taxable component $148,807.77 $0
Total balance $148,807.77 $148,807.77
Before our advice After our advice
Death benefit* $148,807.77 $148,807.77
Tax payable at 17% including Medicare Levy
$25,297.32 $0
Net proceeds $123,510.45 $148,807.77
*This amount will vary based on the account balance when you die. Balances do not include investment growth.
Things to consider
▪ Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may be incurred on the sale of your super investments if you follow our
recommendation. This may be reflected in the final balance available in your existing fund. We are
unable to estimate what the capital gain will be because your super fund does not provide information
that enables us to determine a potential gain or loss. We recommend you discuss CGT implications
with your tax adviser. We will not proceed with this transaction until you give us permission to
proceed.
▪ There may be costs in making a withdrawal from your super fund.
▪ The amount you contribute back into super will count towards your non-concessional contribution
cap.

Future Recommendations
Carry out a "pension refresh" of your account-based pension on the remaining financial years until retirement We recommend you to withdraw the minimum required from the allocated-based pension from the cash
account each year and re-contribute it into super as a personal deductible contribution. We also
recommend you to perform a pension refresh after each financial year.
Benefits to you
▪ You will be refreshing your account annually to ensure you continue to hold as much funds possible
inside the allocated pension in the leading up to retirement.
▪ Drawing down your recommended pension payment (along with the other income you are currently
receiving), will allow you to meet your current income needs.
▪ As you are over 60 years of age, your pension payments will continue to be tax-free.
Things to consider
▪ You are required to draw a minimum (currently 2.5%) pension payment from your account-based
pension every financial year.
▪ The minimum legislated amount of income that must be drawn:
⎯ Is calculated based on your age, and the value of your account-based pension when it
commences.
⎯ Is recalculated on 1 July each year based on the value of your account-based pension at that
time.
⎯ Will be pro-rata based on the number of days remaining in the financial year, where you have
started your pension on a day other than 1 July.
▪ Unexpected earnings resulting in a taxable component can occur anytime when there is a delay in
moving funds from super to pension phase.
▪ The amount able to be transferred into a retirement pension is capped at a total of $1.6 million.
Where total retirement pensions exceed this $1.6 million cap, the total value of these retirement
pensions will need to be reduced to comply with the cap. An ‘excess balance tax’ will otherwise apply.
Transitional arrangements will apply for individuals as of 1 July 2017 if the excess capital in
retirement pensions is less than $100,000.
▪ Where an individual accumulates superannuation amounts of more than $1.6 million, they can retain
this excess in a superannuation accumulation account. Alternatively, the excess can be removed
from the superannuation system and invested ‘outside’ of superannuation once a suitable condition of
release has been met.
Page 27 of 62
Consolidate your retirement funds and set up a pension account We recommend you consolidate all of your funds into one account-based pension account upon reaching
age 70.
Benefits to you
▪ As you are over 60 years of age, your pension income will be tax-free.
▪ You will hold all of your funds within the tax-free environment of an allocated pension. You will
continue to invest in line with your growth appetite to ensure you are receiving sufficient growth over
the long term.
Things to consider
▪ Capital Gains Tax (CGT) may be incurred on the sale of your super investments if you follow our
recommendation. This may be reflected in the final balance available in your existing fund. We are
unable to estimate what the capital gain will be because your super fund does not provide information
that enables us to determine a potential gain or loss. We recommend you discuss CGT implications
with your tax adviser. We will not proceed with this transaction until you give us permission to
proceed.
▪ Unexpected earnings resulting in a taxable component can occur anytime there is a delay in moving
funds from the super to pension phase.
▪ Where you have accumulated superannuation amounts of more than $1.6 million, you can retain this
excess in a superannuation accumulation account. Alternatively, the excess can be removed from the
superannuation system and invested ‘outside’ of superannuation once a suitable condition of release
has been met.
▪ Once your pension has commenced, you will not be able to make additional contributions to your
balance. If additional contributions are required, your pension account will need to be rolled back to
super and restarted.

Summary of your position after our advice
Antoine
Superannuation / Retirement income / Cashflow / Super contributions / Estate Planning (Limited to beneficiary nominations)
Goal
You would like to review the structure of your retirement savings to ensure you are structuring and growing your funds in the most tax-efficient manner for your future retirement at age 70. You would like to remain invested in line with your individual preferences, whilst exploring strategies to further grow your funds through fee and tax savings. You have no specific income needs in retirement and feel you will survive comfortably off the age pension. You, therefore, wish to ensure you are doing all you can to maximise the growth of your retirement savings
You would like to ensure your family will receive all of your superannuation benefits in event of your passing with minimal tax withheld
What we have recommended
We recommend you transfer more into your account-based pension through the following steps:
1. Rollback the entire balance of your existing account-based pension to its accumulation phase
2. Once your rolled back pension benefits have been received, rollover the full balance of your existing AMP Flexible Super – Super account to your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super
3. Retain $1,500 into your CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super and invest your funds in 100% CFS W/S Index Balanced
4. Once your rolled over super benefits have been received, roll over the majority of your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super to your recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Pension and invest your funds in 100% CFS W/S Index Balanced
5. Drawdown $30,000 for this financial year as pension payment
6. Drawdown $32,100 for FY 2022/23 as pension payment
We recommend you make a binding (non-lapsing) nomination on your super and pension account in favour of your preferred beneficiary or beneficiaries.
By utilising your un-used concessional contribution threshold, we recommend you make a $30,000 personal deductible contribution for this financial year to the recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super.
We recommend you make a lump-sum non-concessional contribution amounting to $10,325.
For FY 2022/23, we recommend you to make a $32,100 personal deductible contribution to the recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super.
For FY 2022/23, we recommend you to make a $10,956 non-concessional contribution to the recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super.
Page 29 of 62
For FY 2022/23, we recommend you set up a super re-contribution strategy through the following steps:
1. We recommend you roll back your pension to its accumulation phase
2. We recommend you make a full lump sum withdrawal from your super fund
3. Once the funds have been received in your bank account, we recommend you make an after-tax contribution with the net withdrawal monies back to your CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal super fund
4. We recommend you to retain $1,500 in CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super invested in CFS W/S Index Balanced
5. We recommend you to rollover the remaining balance to the recommended CFS FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Pension invested in CFS W/S Index Balanced
For future recommendations:
- We recommend you to withdraw the minimum required from the allocated-based pension from the cash account each year and re-contribute it into super as a personal deductible contribution. We also recommend you to perform a pension refresh after each financial year.
- We recommend you consolidate all of your funds into one account-based pension account upon reaching age 70.
Benefits of our advice
You will remain invested in line with your risk profile to ensure you still hold a sufficient level of growth assets within your retirement savings. You will be maximising the funds you hold within the tax-free environment of your allocated pension to further increase the growth of your funds. You will begin to make personal deductible contributions each year to significantly reduce your taxable income and further aid in growing your retirement savings in a tax-efficient manner. You will be refreshing your account annually to ensure you continue to hold as much funds possible inside the allocated pension in the leading up to retirement.
You will now hold binding non-lapsing nominations on all of your funds. You will have also washed out all of the taxable components of your super prior to reaching age 67 to ensure that in the event of your children receiving your funds in event of your passing, no tax would be incurred on the receipt of your funds.
Your situation without our advice
You would continue to remain invested in line with your risk profile. However, you would not be optimising the structure of your retirement savings as you would hold a majority of your funds within the taxed environment of superannuation and not be using your annual pension drawdown in any manner to increase the growth of your retirement savings. You would not be making any personal contributions to reduce your taxable income and would therefore be paying higher rates of tax both inside and out of super.
You would continue to hold a non-binding nomination on your superannuation fund which does not guarantee your benefits will be distributed in line with your wishes in event of your passing. You will hold non-lapsing binding nominations on your allocated pension, whilst all of your funds would remain under the taxable component in the future and therefore if these funds were distributed to your non-dependent children in event of your passing they would incur 17% tax on the benefits.
Trade-offs
All investments carry risks. There is a possibility that their investments may not perform or even go down.
I have warned that there may be potential capital gains or losses, additional transactional cost, buy/sell cost, exit cost, etc. when simplifying and consolidating super funds.
In addition, you may lose potential return on investment while the funds are in transit between rollovers.
Page 30 of 62
Your investment strategy
We worked together to understand your expectations and how you feel about investment risk; your risk
profile. We then took your goals and timeframes into account to recommend an appropriate investment
strategy.
A well-developed investment strategy helps us to strategically regulate the allocation of your portfolio to
different asset classes, based on your personal circumstances, goals and the timeframes in which you
wish to achieve them.
Please refer to Selecting your investments on page 57 for more information on risk profiles, investment
strategies, different types of assets and the risks involved with investing.
Summary of your investment strategy
Antoine, we identified you as having a 70% Growth risk profile. With an investment strategy aligned to this
risk profile you would invest between 55% and 85% of the portfolio in growth assets (e.g. shares).
We determined that your goals and the timeframes in which you wish to achieve them are consistent with
this type of investment strategy. The following table shows a performance expectation summary for your
investment strategy.
Investment strategy aligned to a 70% Growth risk profile
*Projected return per annum 5.31%
^Extreme return range -18.40% to 29.10%
+Normal return range -6.60% to 17.20%
Probability of a positive return (over 1 year) 74.90%
Minimum suggested investment timeframe 7 years
Investment objective over investment timeframe CPI + 1.75%
* This is a projection and not a guarantee that you will achieve this return.
^ Approximately 99% of annual results are expected to fall in this range.
+ Approximately 66% of annual results are expected to fall in this range.

Buy/sell costs
Buy/sell costs may apply, including for underlying managed funds held within managed portfolios which
you may own. Buy/Sell costs are the difference between the entry price and exit price of units and apply
when you buy or sell units. The spread is an estimate of the transaction costs of buying and selling assets
relating to your investment option. For example, on an investment in a managed fund of $1,000, if the
spread is 0.25%, the impact on your investment balance is a reduction of $2.50.
The buy/sell spreads apply for each recommended investment product option and are set out in the Product Disclosure Statement.
Capital gains tax (CGT)
Capital gains tax (CGT) may be incurred on the sale of investments currently held in your funds. CGT is payable on any gains made when selling the underlying investments in your current funds. This may be reflected in the final balance available from your existing fund. We recommend you discuss CGT implications with your tax adviser.

Ongoing cost comparison
The tables below compare the estimated annual cost of the products you have now and the products we
recommend. They compare what we actually recommend against what your position would be if you were
to consolidate into one of your existing products.
We’ve assumed that the underlying investments in your existing products are invested in line with what
we have recommended in your new products. This is to diminish the variance in cost caused by differing
underlying investment options.

The above table(s) compares the ongoing product fees and costs for your existing and our recommended products based on the
relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). If comparing a super wrap platform product with a non-platform super product, this
comparison is unlikely to be on a ‘like for like’ basis as the fee and cost amounts disclosed for managed funds offered on platform
products may not include certain transaction costs which are required to be included for non-platform super products. When
deciding whether to implement our advice, you should consider the ongoing product fees and costs as disclosed in the relevant PDS
and the features offered.
+ Investment management costs may include investment fees, performance fees, indirect costs (including any performance based
fees charged by the underlying investment managers), and other management costs. Investment management costs are calculated
based on the gross account balance after any initial fees. Where multiple investment options or investment products exist, this fee is
a weighted average of the applicable fees. Please refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statements for further details.

Staying on track to meet your goals
It’s important to review your situation regularly because it’s difficult to predict when things will change. It’s
equally hard to predict the effect that these changes will have on your goals and our advice.
There are also particular areas of your advice that should be reconsidered over time.

Our annual advice relationship
We discussed how we could help you to stay on track to meet your goals. An annual advice relationship
with us can help with that. We’ve provided an annual advice agreement that details what we can offer.
Investments
There's a chance that your returns won’t meet your needs or that your investment balance reduces in
value just when we're planning to withdraw them. We can provide you support by helping to explain your
situation, your options and to determine your best course of action.
We need to regularly review your investments to make sure that you're invested in the right assets and in
the right ways to meet your goals. Changes in circumstances or your expectations may mean that we
make small tweaks or reconsider your approach to investing.
Retirement goals
We can make sure that you are still on track to meet your retirement goals.
You may even decide to change your retirement goals, and we can work with you in the future to help
achieve these.

What else you need to know
Important information about your advice
Understanding your total super balance
Your total superannuation balance includes accumulation interests, transition to retirement pensions,
retirement pensions and rollovers in transit, reduced by personal injury/structured settlement
contributions.
Where you are a member of an SMSF, a portion of the outstanding balance of certain LRBAs that
commenced on or after 1 July 2018 may also be included in the calculation of your total superannuation
balance. However, this will generally only be the case where you have satisfied a full condition of release
or the loan is a related-party loan.
Your total superannuation balance may impact on a number of strategies including your eligibility to
contribute to superannuation in the future, your ability to make catch-up concessional contributions,
and/or your fund’s ability to segregate assets for tax purposes.
Accessing your super
You can access your super when you permanently retire and reach a minimum age set by law; your
preservation age. The table below sets out the minimum age for accessing your superannuation.
Your date of birth Your preservation age Will reach preservation age
Before 1 July 1960 55
Already reached preservation age 1 July 1960 - 30 June 1961 56
1 July 1961 - 30 June 1962 57
1 July 1962 - 30 June 1963 58
1 July 1963 - 30 June 1964 59 Between 1 July 2022 and 30 June
2023
From 1 July 1964 60 From 1 July 2024
There are other circumstances in which you may be able to access your superannuation. These include cases where you are
permanently incapacitated and cannot work, in some cases of severe financial hardship, or on ‘compassionate grounds’.
Paying for financial advice through super
You are able to pay for your financial advice through your super fund in some cases. You can only use
your super to pay for advice that directly relates to:
⎯ Your super benefits.
⎯ Beneficiaries of your super in the event of your death.
We will make sure that any advice fees you pay to us from your super meet these requirements.
Your tax file number
If you have not supplied your super fund with your tax file number, your fund will not be able to accept
personal contributions that you make. You also risk your concessional contributions being taxed at the
highest marginal tax rate instead of the concessional rate of 15%.
Beneficiary nominations
If your super benefits are paid as a lump sum to a tax dependent, they are received tax free.
Page 44 of 62
However, if your super is paid as a lump sum to someone not considered a tax dependent when you die,
such as an adult child who is not financially reliant on you, then a portion of the payment may be taxed
depending on the components of the balance. Tax is calculated on the taxable component only, and
depending on the underlying elements, can range from 15% to 30% (plus Medicare levy).
Binding (non-lapsing) nomination
A binding nomination means the trustee of your superannuation fund must pay the nominated
beneficiaries as directed by you provided your nominated beneficiaries qualify as dependants at the time
of your death.
A binding nomination can become invalid where any nominated beneficiary dies, or a beneficiary doesn’t
meet a definition of "dependant" under superannuation law at the time of death. Certain superannuation
funds may also have additional restrictions, where, for example a marriage or divorce of the nominated
beneficiary invalidates the binding nomination.
A non-lapsing nomination will typically continue to apply until you revoke an existing nomination or make
a new nomination.
It’s important that you review your non-lapsing nomination regularly and update it as your personal
circumstances change. You can cancel or change your nomination at any time.
Notice of intent
There are strict rules that govern your eligibility to claim a tax deduction for personal contributions which
include lodging a notice of intent to claim a deduction with your superannuation fund. To claim a tax
deduction for personal deductible contributions:
⎯ You need to lodge a form with your superannuation fund called ‘Notice of intent to claim or vary a
deduction for personal super contributions’.
⎯ This form must be lodged by the time you lodge your tax return for this year, or by the end of the
next financial year (whichever is earlier).
If you have made personal deductible contributions and are rolling your super to another fund (including
manual or automated rollovers to fund insurance premiums), then you must lodge the notice of intent
before the rollover occurs. If you do not lodge this notice within the prescribed time or do not claim a tax
deduction the super contribution will count towards your non concessional cap of $110,000 per year or
$330,000 with the bring forward provisions. This may cause you to breach your non-concessional
contribution limit resulting in potential penalties.
After making the contribution and before confirming your deduction to ensure you do not affect your ability
to claim a full tax deduction on your contribution, you should not do any of the following:
⎯ Rollover your super account (including manual or automated rollovers to fund insurance
premiums),
⎯ Transfer your money to another fund,
⎯ Lodge an application to split your contribution to a spouse,
⎯ Start an income stream from the account holding the contributions.
Non-concessional (after tax) contributions
Based on the information you have provided, we confirm that the recommended non-concessional
contributions are within the allowable contribution caps.
It is important that we are made aware of any other non-concessional contributions that you have made to
super in recent years as it may have an impact on our recommendations. We also recommend you seek
our advice before you decide to make any contributions to your super in the future.
Page 45 of 62
Eligibility
You can make contributions directly into super using your after-tax dollars. You will be eligible to make
non-concessional contributions to super if you:
⎯ Are under 67 years of age, or
⎯ Are over 67 but under 75 years of age and satisfy the work test rules, and on 30 June of the
previous financial year, your total superannuation balance was less than $1.7 million or
⎯ Are over 67 but under 75 years of age and have satisfied the work test rules in the previous
financial year, and on 30 June of the previous financial year, your total superannuation balance
was less than $300,000.
Non-concessional contribution caps
The annual non-concessional contribution cap is $110,000.
However, if you are less than 67 years old on the first day of the financial year, you may be able to bring-
forward up to two years’ contribution caps enabling a larger contribution to be made – depending on your
total super balance as outlined in the table below.
Total super balance on 30 June 2020 NCC cap and bring forward period available for
2021/22
<$1.48 million $330,000 (3 years)^
$1.48 million - < $1.59 million $220,000 (2 years)^
$1.59 million - < $1.7 million $110,000 (standard cap only)
$1.7 million and over Nil
^ Based on you being under 67 years of age. Age determined as at the first day of the financial year.
If you exceed your non-concessional contributions cap:
⎯ Your super contributions in excess of your non-concessional contributions cap, plus 85% of any
associated earnings, can be withdrawn from super. The total associated earnings amount, as
determined by the ATO, will be taxed at your marginal tax rate – less a 15% tax offset.
⎯ Should you choose to leave the excess non-concessional contribution amounts in super, then the
excess contributions will be taxed at the highest marginal tax rate.
Superannuation withdrawals
Once you have determined that you can access your super benefits, you need to consider the taxation
consequences associated with accessing your money.
The amount of tax you pay depends on your age at the time of the withdrawal, the amount you take out
and the superannuation component from which the withdrawal is taken.
When you, or someone on your behalf, make a superannuation contribution the money is classified based
on its tax status. The tax status, or component, is determined by the type of contribution and whether any
tax has been paid on the money. The component determines how much tax you pay (if any) when you
withdraw this money from super. There are three different components, tax free, taxable – taxed element,
and taxable – untaxed element.
Your annual statement from your superannuation fund provider will outline the components of your
superannuation savings. The table below outlines the tax that applies to each component when you make
a lump sum withdrawal from super.

If your age is between your preservation age and 60*

Receiving a pension
Payment of your retirement savings in regular periodic amounts can be done through a pension. A
pension starts when you transfer your super savings into a new account, called a pension account, and
start to draw down on the money in a series of regular payments.
Account-based pensions – General
How much can I transfer into a pension account?
There is a $1.7 million pension transfer balance cap that limits the total amount of superannuation benefits you can transfer into the retirement income phase. Certain transactions are excluded from the transfer balance cap. For instance, earnings or losses on investments within retirement income streams are not counted towards the transfer balance cap.
Please note: If your transfer balance exceeds the cap, an excess transfer balance tax is payable on your accrued amount of notional earnings over a financial year. The standard rate of excess transfer balance tax is 15%. The tax rate for a subsequent breach is 30%. The tax is payable within 21 days of the Commissioner issuing the member with an excess transfer balance tax assessment.
The $1.7 million pension transfer cap will apply to those that commence a retirement pension for the first time after 1 July 2021. Those who have commenced a retirement pension before this date will have a personalised cap of between $1.6 million and $1.7 million. This figure can be attained from the ATO by logging onto myGov.
How much income do I receive?
You elect the amount of income you want to receive.
The government sets a minimum amount you must withdraw each financial year, based on your age and the value of your savings. This is set out in the table below.
How long will the income continue?
You will continue to receive regular income until all of your super savings are exhausted, or you pass away. If you die, the balance of your savings is paid to your nominated beneficiary or to your estate.
Does my level of income change?
You can change your income level each year subject to minimum requirements to take into account changes in your cost of living, your age and the value of your remaining savings.
How is my income taxed?
Over age 60:
⎯ All income is tax free.
Between your preservation age and under age 60:
⎯ A portion of your income may be tax free.
⎯ Any amount that is taxable (taxed element) will be taxed at your marginal tax rate,
but will receive a 15 per cent tax offset.
How are my savings taxed?
Investment earnings and capital growth on your savings are not taxed once you start your pension, except if you commence a non-commutable income stream in which case earnings will be taxed at a maximum of 15%.
Can I make lump sum withdrawals?
You can make lump sum withdrawals at any time, except if you commence a non-commutable income stream.
How is my money invested?
You can choose how your savings will be invested. The investment strategy you choose will carry a level of risk and an expected return.
Will my social security benefits be impacted?
The value of your pension is counted as an asset under the assets test and deemed under the income test.
If you commenced an account-based pension before January 1st, 2015 and meet certain eligibility criteria, the account balance on that pension will not be deemed under the income test. Instead, if eligible, Centrelink will use a special calculation to work out how much of this income they will count under the income test.
Page 47 of 62
In response to the effects of COVID-19, the Government has reduced the minimum annual withdrawal
required for account-based pensions by 50% in the 2021–22 financial year, in an effort to assist retirees.
The following table sets out the Government’s minimum annual withdrawal required for account-based
pensions, and the reduced amounts required in 2021-22:
Age Account balance that must be
withdrawn for 2021/22 Account balance that must be withdrawn in all other cases

Fact sheets
Selecting your investments
Your goals
It’s important to consider when you will need money when selecting your investments. The following table
shows some common goals and their possible timeframes as well as examples of the type of assets that
would generally be appropriate for those timeframes.
Short term goals (0-5 years) Long term goals (5+ years)
⎯ Save up a cash buffer
⎯ Upgrade my car
⎯ Pay for my children’s house deposit
⎯ Upgrade my home
Generally suitable assets for short term goals Generally suitable assets for long term goals
⎯ Defensive assets
⎯ Cash
⎯ Fixed interest
⎯ Growth assets
⎯ Property and Infrastructure
⎯ Equities
This table does not suggest that you should put all your money in these assets. In reality, people have a
mixture of short and long term goals and hence their portfolios contain a mixture of assets, which we refer
to as the asset allocation. In some cases, a portfolio may be completely oriented to growth assets (e.g. a
portfolio consisting only of shares) or defensive (e.g. a portfolio consisting only of term deposits).
Types of assets
Generally, assets which provide the potential for greater returns are also riskier. This means that in the
short term you could suffer significant losses that compromise your short term goals. However, given a
long enough timeframe these assets should conform to their projected returns. We call these types of
assets growth assets.
In contrast, assets like fixed interest (e.g. a 2-year term deposit) provide a generally stable level of return
albeit minimal if any potential for greater returns. We call these assets defensive assets.
Your risk profile
Risk profiling refers to the assessment undertaken to gauge the amount of financial risk an individual is
willing to take with their strategy and investments. We worked together to understand your expectations
and how you feel about investment risk to determine your identified risk profile.
Sometimes your identified risk profile is not consistent with your goals and their timeframes. In this case
we can either consider changes to your goals or we can agree to implement an investment strategy which
does not align to your risk profile. If you agree to invest in line with a risk profile that has a higher
proportion invested in growth assets, you need to be aware of the following:
⎯ You would be invested in a higher proportion of growth assets than you initially indicated you would
be comfortable with.
⎯ Your potential for higher long term returns will increase and so will the potential that you will suffer
more significant short term losses.
⎯ The minimum time that you should be comfortable not withdrawing that investment capital will be
longer.
⎯ In the event of a serious market downturn, your losses would likely be more significant than if you
were invested in line with your identified risk profile.
While investing in line with a risk profile that has a lower proportion invested in growth assets does not
carry a higher investment risk, you would be limiting your potential for higher returns.
Page 58 of 62
The current market environment of low yields, falling expected investment returns and increase in
volatility has seen the industry re-evaluating client return expectations. The return objectives for your risk
profiles have been reduced to reflect the changed market outlook over the next 5 to 7 years. These
changes were made to ensure that we are reasonably confident that your investment will meet the stated
return objectives without adding additional investment risk that you may not be comfortable with.
Your investment strategy
Your investment strategy is the approach or plan that we use to place you in the best decision to achieve
your particular goals. It is the foundation of how your portfolio is invested and managed to achieve your
objectives.
The following components are taken into account in determining your investment strategy:
⎯ Your goals and the timeframes in which you want to achieve them
⎯ Your risk profile; your tolerance and expectations about investment risk
⎯ The types and nature of investments that are appropriate for you
⎯ The level of ongoing management your portfolio would require and the suitability of that for you
⎯ Whether to exclude an amount of cash for your short term goals
A sound investment strategy will provide you with the following:
⎯ An appropriate mix of growth and defensive assets for your risk profile, goals and timeframes
⎯ Diversification across asset classes, industry sectors and markets
⎯ A cost-effective portfolio in terms of implementation and ongoing management
Managing and reviewing your investments
Your goals and attitudes to risk can change over time and it is important to make sure that your
investment strategy remains appropriate for you. It is also important to review your investments regularly
to ensure your portfolio is diversified and you hold a portfolio which aligns to your investment strategy.
Risks involved with investing in growth assets
Historically, over the longer term returns from growth assets (e.g. shares) have been higher than
defensive assets (e.g. cash). While growth assets can provide investment returns well above their
defensive counterparts, you need to be aware of the associated risks of investing in them.
To illustrate the difference, a portfolio invested 100% in growth assets could in nearly all cases expect
returns year-to-year to be between -27.40% and 41.60%. A portfolio invested 100% in defensive assets
could in nearly all cases expect returns year-to-year to be between 0% and 6.00%. You will notice that
these ranges are vastly different, growth assets are much more volatile than defensive assets.
The amount of income you derive from growth assets (e.g. dividends) may vary and sometimes stop
altogether.
You can reduce but not eliminate the risks of investing in growth assets by investing over a long period
and diversifying your portfolio appropriately.
Liquidity risk
In some cases, investments can become illiquid, which means that withdrawals will not be allowed unless
the responsible entity of the investment makes a withdrawal offer. The responsible entity is not obliged to
make this offer. Where withdrawal requests exceed the amount available for release from the fund, the
amount released may be distributed proportionally to those who have made requests.
