Guiding members towards a comfortable retirement

Brian Coombe is a key part of Prime Super’s Members Solutions Team. He’s someone that many of our members seek out for guidance, coaching and budgeting tips as they navigate their way to retirement.

Brian says, “We work with members so they’re in control and they make the decisions. My role is to show people that by perhaps doing some things a bit differently they can be better off. Sometimes it’s a few little things that can make a big difference to how much a person retires with, and that’s where we can be very useful to our members,” says Brian.

Brian draws on many years of experience and technical knowledge to help members achieve better outcomes. “People need to know how to make the most of their super money after they’ve done all the hard work over decades in the workforce”.

In his role, Brian forms strong relationships with members. “Most people call me directly on my mobile,” he says. “What people really want to know is that they’ll be alright in retirement, that they’ll have enough money to be comfortable. They may not be the richest person but we can  do everything to make sure they’ll have enough, that they’ll be comfortable,” he says.

“Sometimes, it’s clear that a member is not going to be OK and that’s where we can help guide them in making changes. We show them the outcomes of each option and help them understand how to get the results they want,” Brian says.

“A lot of people don’t realise they can draw an income from their super while their balance remains invested. So even if people think it’s too late to get advice, it’s generally never too late,” says Brian.
