Client stories

Creating certainty in retirement income

A client in her early 60s wanted to retire but feared her savings wouldn’t last. We modelled scenarios showing how investing $700,000 into a structured income stream could optimise her Age Pension eligibility, protect her capital, and provide a reliable retirement income. With a clear plan in place, she left her job knowing her lifestyle and healthcare costs were secure.

Phased retirement with confidence

A couple in their late 50s wanted to cut back on work but still fund travel and support their first grandchild. We designed a phased TTR strategy, utilising a combination of super pension drawdowns and part-time income to maintain a strong cash flow. They now enjoy three months overseas each year while gradually winding down their work commitments — with complete clarity on how long their wealth will last.
