FEES & MEMBER PROTECTION

FIRSTSUPER fees are always kept as low as possible.

Other than insurance premiums and government taxes, described elsewhere on this site, the fees summarised below are the only deductions made from your account, from earnings on investments or from the Fund’s assets as a whole:
