Benefits of investing in IOOF WealthBuilder investment bonds

WealthBuilder provides a number of benefitsto help build, manage and grow your savings.

A tax paid investment

• IOOF pays the tax on your investment earnings on your behalf at the current company tax rate of 30% rather than your marginal tax rate.

• This means you don't have to report WealthBuilder investment income to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) while your money remains invested.

A great range of investment options

• There are 16 investment options for you to choose from with a range of profiles including 4 diversified Funds and 12 sector options.

• These provide you access to quality investment managers and a mix of different asset classes to help you meet your individual investment needs.

Switching is easy

• If you change your mind, or your circumstances change over time, you can easily switch between Funds within your account without incurring any capital gains tax (CGT).

You can start with as little as $500

• With our Regular Savings Plan, you can start a WealthBuilder account with as little as $500 (or $2,000 without a Regular Savings Plan).

• Having a low minimum balance to start investing means you can easily access the benefits of WealthBuilder and start planning for your future today.

Grow your wealth through borrowing

Great savings options for children

A simple way to provide for your family when you pass away

What is IOOF WealthBuilder?

WealthBuilder is an investment bond for people looking to save or invest for the medium to long-term and provides a unique and simple solution for investment, tax planning and estate planning needs.

WealthBuilder provides access to a range of investment options1, but unlike traditional investment products, such as unit trusts, earnings from the investment bond are taxed in the hands of IOOF, rather than the investor. As a life insurance investment product, WealthBuilder also provides investors with the ability to nominate beneficiaries to receive investment proceeds in the event of death.

Depending on your needs and lifestyle goals, you can use WealthBuilder for a number of purposes, such as:

• saving for your child's education or for a property purchase

• planning for that big overseas holiday when you retire or a new car

• giving your children or grandchildren a financial head start with an investment

• managing and protecting your finances when you pass away

• managing your tax more effectively.

Whatever your needs and lifestyle goals, WealthBuilder can help you get there. It can meet the different needs of different people at varying stages of their life - we call it our multi-generational wealth solution.

You can select from a range of investment options, accessing quality investment managers and a mix of asset classes, providing you with flexibility and investment choice.

• individuals (aged 10 years or more)

How we invest your money

The Fund aims to be fully invested, providing a diversified investment exposure.22 The UMF generally gains its exposure through a mix of investment managers.

The growth orientation of the UMF means it has a greater exposure to growth assets (such as Australian and international property and shares and alternative - growth), with a moderate exposure to defensive assets (such as cash, fixed interest and alternative - defensive).

The UMF is authorised to utilise approved derivative instruments for risk management purposes subject to the specific restriction that the derivative instruments cannot be used to gear portfolio exposure.

The underlying investment managers of the UMF, may utilise strategies for the management of currency exposure. The level of currency hedging used for the UMF will vary from time to time. The UMF has the capacity to change the level and nature of the currency overlay to manage the UMF's currency risk.
