One of the benefits of the compulsory contributions superannuation system in Australia has been that it's forced workers to think about the long term and plan for their retirement.
Some investors have taken the bull by the horns and set up their own self-managed super funds (SMSF) to help them achieve their goals, while other workers have been more passive in their approach.
Are you securing yourself a comfortable retirement?
For investors who want to provide themselves with a level of income which will afford them a comfortable retirement, here are three stocks to consider…
- Platinum Asset Management Limited (ASX: PTM) is a leading fund manager specialising in global equities. Platinum has an outstanding track record which should help it to attract more funds under management – particularly superannuation money – allowing the company to grow sustainably for many years.
- TPG Telecom Ltd (ASX: TPM) is the leading second-tier telco in the Australian market. The firm's recent win which saw the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) announce that it won't take action to block TPG's rollout of the fibre-to-the-basement network is another example of how TPG is continuing to grow its market share.
- Qube Holdings Ltd (ASX: QUB) continues to expand its logistics services via operations at ports and warehouses in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. It plans to develop a major intermodal logistics hub in NSW which will provide further growth for the company. It recently reported revenue and profit gains of 14% and 20% respectively in FY 2014.
