This is what you need to know about minimum draw-down requirements from super

Question 1: In super pension phase, why is there a minimum annual draw-down requirement instead of letting people withdraw less if they wish? If you don’t need the full draw-down amount in any year you can’t deposit any surplus back into super and it can be difficult to find investments outside super that pay as well. 

However regarding investments outside super, Warren Buffett recommends a low-cost index fund. What’s your advice on this area please?
