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. Most employ-

ees can choose another fund if they don’t

like the one selected by their employer.

The performance results displayed

are the annualised investment returns

each MySuper option has delivered after

taking account of all taxes and fees.

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 info,
