Shutree might have a better idea about this than me.
As for the monthly proof of income thing for a Retirement visa using this (or other) methods, I have no clue about that either as I keep an 800k++ balance year-round and proof of that isn't even required most of the time using the agency I do at renewal time. Neither is having to show proof of the balance at other times of the year (I think 3 months after your visa or renewal is issued?) as others have to do, that's another hoop that gets removed.
