Retail retirement funds trustee newsletter 2023

We are proud to share another Momentum retail retirement funds trustee newsletter with you. How you invest for retirement is one of your most important financial decisions. It's worth it to take the time to understand the rule changes to transferring retirement annuity contracts and how changes to Regulation 28 will affect your retirement fund investments.

We also explain the advantages of using retirement benefit counselling when you're nearing retirement, how to choose the right annuity as part of retirement planning and why it's important to nominate a beneficiary on your retirement fund.
