YOUR GUIDE TO SUPER DATA

T

he table on this page contains data

and information to help you compare

superannuation funds. It showcases

MySuper investment options offered by

some of Australia’s biggest super funds.

MySuper options are default superannua-

tion products that employees choose or

are allocated by their employers.

The performance results displayed

are the annualised investment returns

each MySuper option has delivered after

taking account of all taxes and fees. Past

performance is no indicator of future

performance.

The table also lists each fund’s

SelectingSuper Fund Quality Rating. Funds

that achieve these quality standards are

designated AAA. Research was prepared

by Rainmaker Information, which

publishes Money magazine. For more

WHAT

THEY MEAN

When calculating fees,

Rainmaker assumes a

member has $50,000

products invest your

superannuation based on age

and are known as lifecycle

funds (marked LC). The table

includes the LC option for

40-year-old members. Non

lifecycle funds are known

as single strategy (S).

Rank: Funds are ranked

against all MySuper

investment options

available in Australia.

Indices and averages:

To produce these indices,

Rainmaker analyses the

results of more than 3300

investment options.
