Round up your super

Once your account is open, it’s a good time to round up your other super accounts into your ANZ Smart Choice Pension account. If you have multiple super accounts you may be paying more fees than you need to.

To help you get started we’ll send you the pre-completed forms when you open your account.

Alternatively you can do it yourself with the easy-to-use Round up your super tool or call Customer Services on 13 12 87 who will do it for you.

Your investment options

ANZ Smart Choice Pension provides you with a choice of two investment categories:

"We Select"

  • Is an investment solution that is appropriate for your age, it automatically adjusts your investment exposure (to become more conservative) as you move towards and into retirement.
  • An active asset allocation process may be utilised to increase or decrease your exposure to relevant asset classes within permitted ranges. This process is designed to optimise your investment performance by adjusting allocations to markets/asset classes which we believe will perform strongly or poorly in the future. The exposure to a broad range of asset classes is designed to diversify investment risk.
  • You can also hold a portion of your account balance in ANZ Smart Choice - Cash.
  • Where you don’t make a choice, your money will automatically be invested into the appropriate 'We Select' investment option based on the decade in which you were born.

Or

"Self Select"

  • A range of carefully selected investment options from which you can choose your own investment mix.

You can change your investment option at any time by calling Customer Services on 13 12 87.

Insurance cover

Once you open an account you will automatically receive Death Insurance cover (subject to eligibility), unless you opt out. You can also double your cover when you open your account or at any time by contacting us. Your cover will commence when your account has received an initial contribution.

By tax effectively packaging your insurance within ANZ Smart Choice Pension, your insurance premiums will be paid from your Pension account rather than from your after tax income.

Fees & costs

The fees you pay are simple and competitive – nothing hidden and no commissions.

  • Administration Fee: $6.00 per month.
  • The Investment Management Fee is nil for ANZ Smart Choice – Cash and 0.95% on all other investments.

Important information

Before moving your super into your ANZ Smart Choice Pension account, you will need to consider whether you will incur any withdrawal fees, costs or lose any benefits when moving from your other fund. You will also need to consider whether moving your super from your current fund will affect any insurance cover you have in your other fund(s).
