here's another load of bollocks



A new 'provider', Pearler, will only offer ETFs . Co-founder Nick Nicolaides says the imposition of an age limit (no Boomers) is not intended to be exclusionary, discriminatory or a means of skirting the government’s push for retirement income services and advice.


Rather, the “no Boomers” message is a reflection of Pearler’s philosophy that investing in passive, broad-based ETFs and holding those products for a long time, is the key to wealth creation.


We wanted to build a self-directed product, but it’s best suited to people with long, long time horizons,” Nicolaides says. “We are a product for younger accumulators that is trying to solve the problems specifically for younger accumulators.


He said the decision to focus on accumulators was a way to avoid falling into the “pretty typical industry trap” of trying to market to everybody to gain more customers. “This is a decision made after careful consideration and… it’s something we’re going to continue to work on.”

Reality is they don't want, or will postpone for a decade or three, to have to cater for withdrawals, or provide pension advice. Just another grubby exercise from some rent-seeking tossers.
