Education Bonds
Education Bonds are a great way to start saving and investing for your family’s future education needs. They deliver the same benefits as other traditional investments and saving options, with the bonus of additional unique features. These features help make it a flexible, tax effective and dedicated education fund to cover a lifetime of education expenses and more.
Flexibility
Our bond range offers a wide investment choice with options from Australian and International leading fund managers. Plus, unlike other child or education purposed investment and savings products, our Education Bonds offer an unrivalled level of flexibility.
Including the ability to:
- access capital tax free at any time
- access the education tax benefit
- add or remove beneficiaries at any time
- add a Bond Guardian
Tax Benefits
Education Bonds have taxation benefits and can provide superior “after-tax” investment outcomes against other investment types.
money paid into the Education Bond doesn’t attract any tax and can be accessed at any time.
Futurity pays tax on the bond’s ongoing investment earnings at a tax rate of up to 30 percent on your behalf. When you make a withdrawal to fund education, you’ll enjoy a refund of the tax paid by us which gives you an extra $30 for every $70 dollars withdrawn.
Dedicated Savings
Lump sum contributions are allowed as well as regular monthly contributions, so you can maximise the benefits of compounding within a low tax environment.
Having a dedicated education fund can help you stay on track towards your goal. Allowing you to be confident knowing your education funding plans are in place. Without the burdensome annual tax reporting required with other types of investments.
What are the benefits of an Education Bond?
Futurity Education Bonds are designed for you to tax-effectively save and invest to accumulate the funding for your education-purposed objectives. The flexible structure gives you full control and access to your funds at any time, both for making Education Benefit Claims and withdrawals for any purpose.
Plus, Education Bonds offer a level of comfort when it comes to estate planning. Providing certainty for how and when your wealth will be distributed with will-like Bond Estate Nominations to achieve tax-effective inheritances.
What’s special about Futurity’s Education Bonds?
Futurity offers the first ever Family Education Bond in Australia which gives you discretion to appoint multiple Education Beneficiaries under the one tax-effective, flexible Bond. Alternatively, our Individual Education Bonds allow you to tailor separate investments for each beneficiary.
Our ground-breaking Education Bond product range also offers ‘Will-like’ tax-effective inheritances, so your Bond’s proceeds are distributed to your chosen nominees on a tax-free basis and in line your wishes.
