Who we are
Challenger is focused on providing customers with financial security for retirement. We do this by offering investment strategies that exhibit consistently superior performance, and by helping customers in retirement with safe and reliable income streams.
As Australia’s largest annuity provider, we provide reliable, guaranteed income payments to thousands of Australian retirees. Annuity products appeal to retirees as they provide security and certainty of guaranteed income in retirement, whilst protecting against share market and inflation risks. Our lifetime annuities also protect retirees from the risk of running out of money late in life.
The guaranteed retirement incomes we pay are backed by a high-quality investment portfolio, including fixed income and commercial property investments. These investments generate regular and predictable investment income, which we use to fund retirement incomes paid to our customers.
What we do
We offer a range of products aimed at helping our customers during retirement. Our market-leading annuities provide a secure income, either for their lifetime or for a fixed term they choose, regardless of how share markets perform.
