Asset Super has partnered with Rice Warner Actuaries to expand its online tool range with the addition of a ‘Build your savings’ tool.
Designed for members in the growth phase, the tool will give members practical examples of how to build their super savings, Asset Super chief executive John Paul said.
The new savings tool allows members to enter personal information, including their current super balance and desired retirement outcome.
The tool then calculates the future value of their super in today’s dollars, as well as how long their super might last.
Members may then apply different contribution strategies to observe the potential effect on their future retirement income.
It also highlights the effect of additional contributions on their take-home pay and the amount of tax they can save.
Paul said this tool was just one of a suite of tools that Asset will introduce to its membership in the coming weeks.
The rollout of further tariffs in the US from August is expected to decrease economic growth in the US in the longer term, AMP and asset managers warn.
The Australian Retirement Trust is adopting a “healthy level of conservatism” towards the US as the end of the 90-day tariff pause approaches, with “anything possible”.
Uncertainty around tariffs and subdued growth may lead to some short-term constraints in relation to the private credit market, the fund manager has said.
Just three active asset managers are expected to attract net inflows over the coming year, according to Morningstar, with those specialising in fixed income or private markets best positioned to benefit.
