Question

Can I use money that is not from superannuation to set up a First State Super income stream account?

Answer

To set up either a First State Super Retirement Income Stream or Transition to Retirement Income Stream you must have a superannuation benefit of at least $20,000.

If you would like to use money that is not in the superannuation system to set up a First State Super income stream account, you may consider making a contribution to a superannuation account before opening an income stream account. We recommend that you consult a licensed or authorised financial adviser in regard to your personal circumstances.
