Welcome

As a member of Mason Stevens Super, you and your adviser can create a portfolio with a wide selection of global assets from a diverse investment menu. There is also the option of professionally managed portfolios that invest in a range of asset types according to specific risk and return objectives.

You can move seamlessly between super, transition to retirement, or pension accounts within Mason Stevens Super while accessing your account securely online.

Benefits of engaging more with your super

Being engaged with your superannuation benefits is crucial for securing your financial future. Super is often the largest asset you’ll have outside of your home, so it’s important to manage it actively rather than just let it sit. By regularly reviewing your super, you can ensure your contributions and investments align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and retirement plans.

Working closely with your financial adviser
To open a Mason Stevens Super account, you must be advised by a licensed financial adviser. Staying informed about your super and working closely with your financial adviser will help ensure you’re in the right investment option based on your age, goals, and the market. The difference in returns over time can significantly impact your retirement balance. Additionally, by monitoring fees, you can avoid paying unnecessary costs that might erode your savings.

Your super can also be impacted by legislative changes, such as those affecting contribution caps or tax treatment. By staying engaged, you and your financial adviser can take advantage of opportunities to maximise your retirement savings, such as making additional contributions, consolidating accounts to avoid fees, or choosing ethical investment options.

Retirement Income Strategy

Deciding when to retire is a big decision and one that is different for everyone
Most members have at least one common goal and that is to make sure they have the right level of income and flexible access to that income throughout their retirement. It can be a bit of a balancing act.

Planning is easy with the right support
So, whether you are planning your retirement or are already retired, there are a range of assistance and retirement income options to support your individual retirement journey.

    What insurance options are available?
    It is important to understand and manage the insurance cover included in your super. You might be paying for insurance you don’t need, or not have adequate coverage when you do need it.

As a member of Mason Stevens Super you can integrate your account with insurance policies provided by industry leaders AIA, TAL and Zurich.
    How do I nominate a beneficiary?
    Nominating a beneficiary on your Mason Stevens Super account is important to ensure that your benefits are distributed according to your wishes in the event of your death.
