Honest and authentic retirement planning with a focus on you.
Replacing financial fear with freedom.

The Retirement Income Covenant Is Here

From 1  July 2022, APRA regulated super funds are required to formulate a retirement income strategy for its members. The retirement income system is complex and not every super fund will encourage contemporary guaranteed income streams (i.e. annuities).

Book in a meeting today to explore your options and gain a greater understanding of the retirement income system and the opportunities available to you.

Optimise your retirement strategy using…


Contemporary guaranteed income streams (i.e. fixed, lifetime and market linked)

Account-based pensions

Non-superannuation investment income

The Australian age pension and overseas pensions


…all while managing investment risk, inflation risk and longevity risk.

An Honest And Authentic Experience

Honest and authentic retirement planning with a focus on you. Replacing financial fear with freedom.

“I have been a client of Ray Ong and his team from Fortitude Wealth well ahead of my retirement from the Public Service in late 2009. Ahead of my retirement Ray was able to put a strategy in place to save on tax and after my retirement he was able to advise me on strategies to safeguard my investment and achieve my long term financial goals.

Ray’s strengths are that he takes a very real interest in your account and you personally so he can provide you a tailored level of advice which is relative to your account. Ray has the expertise and knowledge to explain in simple and understandable terms in regards what is happening (and has happened) in financial markets to enable clients to make fully informed decisions to reach financial goals.

I hold a conservative approach which together with the assistance of Ray (who I hold in high regard) has helped me to maintain my capital at a good level and to protect my long term investment. I commend Ray and his team at Fortitude Wealth.”
