Building your future

What is IOOF WealthBuilder?

IOOF WealthBuilder (WealthBuilder) is an investment bond1 that is suited to people looking to save or invest for the medium to long term. WealthBuilder provides access to a range of investment options, 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.

WealthBuilder offers a range of investment features to suit your financial needs and lifestyle goals.

It offers a unique and simple investment solution which can be used for a number of purposes. For example:

  • for your child's education, or for a property purchase;
  • for that big overseas holiday when you retire, or a new car when you return;
  • for giving your children or grandchildren a financial head start with an investment;
  • for protecting your finances for when you pass away; or
  • for managing your tax a little more effectively.

As a life insurance investment product, WealthBuilder also provides investors with the ability to nominate beneficiaries to receive the investment proceeds in the event of death.

WealthBuilder is designed to meet different needs of different types of people at varying stages of their life - we call it our multi-generational wealth solution.
