What is Lifestream Guaranteed Income?
Lifestream Guaranteed Income is an immediate annuity. It allows you to invest a lump sum amount (from either personal savings or superannuation money) to provide you with a regular, guaranteed income over a specific term including:
  • Short Term Income, for a Fixed Term of 1 to 5 years earning a guaranteed yield.
  • Long Term Income, for a Fixed Term of 6 and 30 years earning a guaranteed yield.
  • Lifetime Income, provides a guaranteed income for your lifetime.

Who is it suitable for?
Lifestream Guaranteed Income is generally suitable for:
  • Individuals, companies, funds and trusts seeking a low risk investment that provides guaranteed regular income payments.
  • Retirees using superannuation money, seeking a tax free income stream. When a retiree turns 60 and they invest in an annuity sourced from superannuation money, they can take advantage of superannuation laws regarding tax free payments.
  • Retirees seeking an income stream that provides longevity protection. A Lifetime Income Annuity provides investors with a regular income stream for as long as they are alive.

What is Guaranteed Index Tracked Annuity (GITA)?
GITA is an immediate annuity that offers all the advantages of a traditional annuity, plus some exposure to the upside of the equity market, yet without the downside risk.

It provides a guaranteed minimum initial return from the date of purchase, for the term of the investment. The income stream is guaranteed never to decrease in any year, and has the potential to achieve compounded increases of up to 5% per annum, in line with the percentage movement in the S&P/ASX 200 Price Index. The S&P/ASX 200 Price Index is recognised as the investable benchmark for the Australian equity market. The S&P/ASX 200 Price Index takes into account price movements in the relevant stocks. The index does not take into account such things as dividends, bonuses, buyback and other offers that may affect the price of the relevant stocks.

GITA enables you to use a lump sum amount (from either personal savings or superannuation money) to provide you with a regular, guaranteed income over a specific term.

This can be:

  • Short Term Income, for 2 to 5 years
  • Long Term Income, for between 6 and 25 years

Who is it suitable for?
GITA is generally suitable for:
  • Individuals, companies, funds or trusts seeking an investment that provides guaranteed regular income payments that may increase on a compound basis of up to a maximum of 5% each year.
  • Retirees using superannuation money, seeking a tax free income stream. When a retiree turns 60 and they invest in an annuity sourced from superannuation money they can take advantage of superannuation laws regarding tax free payments.
