Financial Standard Comments - Grattan says Aussies retiring comfortably, ISA responds Australians are retiring with more than enough, according to new research from Grattan Institute but ISA and ASFA don't agree. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=128890528 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 15:30:12 +1100 Wed, 07 Nov 2018 15:30:12 +1100 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Dennis Barton (Mutual Pensions Pty Ltd)

It would be newsworthy if Grattan had anything positive to say about super.

If the calculation of 91% of pre retirement income is correct, it is an argument for a harsher means test, not softer.

GIven the ABP minimum drawdowns, retirees need an investmwnt tail wind to leave a legacy larger than when they started (particularly after tax).

Nevertheless, the intergeneration transfer needs to be tackled.
