After a few mergers over the years which resulted in my wife's super being passed around several providers, she is now with Australian Retirement Trust, and after watching this video I am glad she is with them, and hope there are no more mergers which will force her to another provider.
Hi Paulietv2162, that's wonderful to hear. Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback, we hope your wife is enjoying her time with us. Thanks, ^Lola
Considering the death of quality Superannuation information on this platform I'm amazed that this informative video hasn't received many more views and comments. Thanks.

How does it work if you are in you late 60's (overseas) self employed and want to dump a large amount of money (sale of your business) into your super in order to start withdraw in your 70's?

Hello. Can you please confirm that there is a mistake in the table you present around the 6min ? In particular the tax on lump sum withdrawals under preservation age is in fact “Your marginal tax rate or 22%, whichever is lower”; not just 22% as stated in your table. Thank you.
Thank you for your message. In response to your question, in most cases for an Early Release of Superannuation for the fund, the 22% can usually be lower than a member's marginal tax rate, which is why the video may state 22%. For more information on marginal tax rates please contact the ATO on 13 10 20 or Visit: www.ato.gov.au/tax-rates-and-codes/tax-rates-australian-residents to better understand your situation. If we can help you further with general information, please let us know. If you have specific questions relating to your Australian Retirement Trust account, please contact us securely via email, phone or live chat at www.australianretirementtrust.com.au/contact-us. For your own security, we encourage you not to send any personal information about your Australian Retirement Trust account via Facebook. ^Regards, Hank
I don't see any advantage keeping a portion in accumulation if 15% is taxed on earnings. Your investments must perform above 15%+inflation to keep its value. Your pension account will earn tax free.

I just hope that art has not invested in renewable energy and green technologies as a lot of people lose the shirt off their back
