Cashflow deficits - will there be functionality to draw cashflow deficits from an investment bond? Perhaps like we can do with super, being after preservation age or tax free age, with the bond being able to elect to draw before or after the 10 year withdrawal period.
Small thing, however, when we have pension tables come through into the advice document, it includes the ICR for each fund. Is it possible to have this come through for super accounts?

Hi sarah.schultz,
I had a feeling users would ask to draw a deficit from investment bonds! Unfortunately we had to draw the line somewhere and move onto other important work. We’ll be doing some work to improve Asset, Liability and Cashflow modelling later this year and into 2025 and Investment Bonds will be high on the list when we get to improving Cashflow. We’ll keep the age and 10 year options in mind.
Regarding the ICR/Pension tables. Is the ICR information for Super being drawn from Xtools+ or Wealthsolver? I think this may be something for our Wealthsolver team.

I will keep an eye out on future changes to cashflow relating to bonds. Hopefully it is something that can be brought in as I do use a lot of bonds.
For the ICR's, I enter these in XTools+ so when comparing super / pension projections, it will show a difference from current to proposed even if the risk profiles and contributions remain the same. When exporting the tables into Word, the pension tables show the ICR entered into XTools+ however the super tables don't.
