Since super is a long-term investment, when comparing super returns it is important to look at the fund’s performance over the long term (5, 10 years or more), as well as to take into account fund charges and other costs. It is also important to remember that past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future performance.

It is also worth doing your research on the fund’s investment strategy and the options offered so that you can understand the asset classes you might invest in, how your super might be allocated among the asset classes, and the fund’s approach to take environmental, social and governance issues into account in its investment decisions.

“The superannuation is the longer term investment most of us will ever have, so it’s important to know who your super is with and that you’ve weighed which investment options are right for you,” said Mrs. Fuchs.
