Planning for a comfortable retirement can be super easy

Jane Gibbs became a Prime Super member when the merger with Combined Super completed at the start of 2019.

“I joined Combined Super in 2002 when I started working with Independent Schools Victoria. After the merger, and several opportunities to meet with the team at Prime Super, I decided to stay with the super fund,” recalled Jane.

It was soon after the merger that Jane began to consider her retirement plans.

“The service from the team is exceptional. We had frequent updates on services provided and were kept abreast on the progress of our accounts. Initially I didn’t focus too much on my superannuation options, but as I got closer to retirement age, I became more interested in the progress of my investments and how it would fund a comfortable retirement,” Jane said.

After 43 years of working in government and independent education sectors, with nearly 20 of those in exciting and challenging leadership roles at a large private school, Jane is now looking forward to retirement plans, filled with traveling and being with friends and family – particularly her grandchildren.

“The personal service over the years from Brian Coombe, Member Solutions Manager, Prime Super, provided me with the information I needed to retire comfortable with a superannuation income stream. Brian’s advice allowed me to maximise my earnings through contributions to my superannuation, while maintaining my private investments.”

And as she begins her retirement plans to spend time with the people she loves, doing the things she loves, Jane’s confident that her super will continue to grow as her balance remains invested.

“One of the main reasons I stayed with the fund is due to this exceptional service from Brian and the team at Prime Super. I know that if I have any queries, there’s someone I can contact, who knows me, and who has been instrumental in my superannuation journey,” shared Jane.
