Plum launches new retirement income product
Plum Super has launched a new account-based pension to cater for both active and passive investor types.
The Plum Retirement Income (PRI) offered two investment paths, the cultivator investment path and the self-select investment path.
The cultivator offers members an automated investment and drawdown strategy, designed to deliver short-to-medium-term income stability and long-term capital growth with aims to optimise retirement income to last as long as possible.
The self-select relies on the member to select and monitor their investment portfolio and offers five investment levels designed to offer flexibility in investing to meet their retirement needs.
NAB general manager of customer experience, superannuation, Lara Bourguignon said: “Our absolute focus remains on helping our members enjoy their retirement and offering products that provide flexibility, choice, and support”.
PRI also provides members with access to phone-based help, online education, and an electronic application process.

The board must shift its focus from managing inflation to stimulating the economy with the trimmed mean inflation figure edging closer to the 2.5 per cent target, economists have said.
ASIC chair Joe Longo says superannuation trustees must do more to protect members from misconduct and high-risk schemes.
Super fund mergers are rising, but poor planning during successor fund transfers has left members and employers exposed to serious risks.
