How your super fund performs over the long term could make a big difference to your money for retirement. We focus on what that performance means for the net benefit of your super. That is, what your overall financial position could be after taking away admin and investment fees – it’s one of the best ways to see how funds stack up.
See why choosing a top long-term performing fund4 could help you grow your money for the future you want. The graph below shows how the net benefit of AustralianSuper’s Balanced option compares to others.
Net benefit refers to investment earnings to 31 December 2024 (less administration, investment fees and costs, transaction costs and taxes). Investment returns are not guaranteed. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
The graph shows what a member with a $50,000 starting balance would have over 15 years to 31 December 2024, assuming they had a starting annual salary of $50,000 and were receiving superannuation guarantee contributions for the full-time period.7
