Thank you!     CREDITS    Anne Fuchs, Australian Retirement Trust Executive General Manager Advice, Guidance and Education   Justin Bott, Services Australia Customer Information Officer   The opinions and comments shared by people in this podcast are theirs alone, and they’re not necessarily shared by the Trustee. It uses information that’s accurate at the time of publishing. This is general information only. It’s not based on your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. So, think about those things and read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination at art.com.au/pds before you make any decision about our products. And if you’re still not sure, talk with a financial adviser.  This information and all products are issued by Australian Retirement Trust Pty Ltd (ABN 88 010 720 840, AFSL 228975) (‘Trustee’), trustee of Australian Retirement Trust (ABN 60 905 115 063) (‘the Fund’ or ‘ART’).  Any advice given is by representatives of Sunsuper Financial Services Pty Ltd (ABN 50 087 154 818, AFSL 227867) or QInvest Limited (ABN 35 063 511 580, AFSL 238274), both wholly owned by the Trustee. As representatives, they may recommend ART products from time to time. So read the relevant Financial Service Guide at art.com.au/fsg to tell you about that advice and how they’re paid. Any information given by the guest speaker is provided as general information only and not financial advice.
