For our retirees with a Retirement Income account or Retirement Transition account, our new structure starting on 1 June 2025 means our fees have come down as much as 25%.[F7]
The reduction sees the asset-based administration fee go down from 0.23% to 0.17%, with the annual fee cap dropping from $1,500 to $1,300.
That’s around $3,100 back in your pocket over retirement,[F8] so you have more money in your pocket to spend on the things you love.
This reduction will make our fees even more competitive — in fact $600 lower than the industry average.[F9] And that’s thanks in part to our continued growth and scale.
