Help your staff make the most of their super: getting a good deal

June 6th, 2019

The super contributions you make for your employees are one of the most valuable benefits they receive. But are they making the most of these savings?

When it comes to super, there are a few easy ways that can help people stay on track with their retirement savings.

Below are four quick tips for checking if you’re getting a good deal from a super fund, which you can share with your employees.

Are you getting a good deal from your super fund – 4 things to check:

  1. Fees – the lower the fees, the more money stays in your super account to be invested. First Super, for example, does not charge fees for general and intra-fund financial advice. You can find our fees in our Product Disclosure Statement documents.
  2. Returns – look at the fund’s investment performance over 5 to 10 years, not just last year’s best performer. See First Super’s monthly returns and past returns.
  3. Service – what does the fund offer in terms of advice, education, and support both over the phone and online? Find out more about First Super’s financial advice offering.
  4. Investment options – does the fund offer options that match your comfort with risk and suit your needs? And doing this is now so easy, as funds supply these details on their website, in their product disclosure statements, or over the phone. First Super offers 5 investment options.
