Choosing a fund
There are a few things to consider when choosing the fund that’s right for you so we’ve pulled together our top 5 things to think about.
Considering risk
When making a choice on your investment options, it’s a good idea to consider the level of risk you’re comfortable with.
About asset classes
Many super funds invest in assets which means there can be varying degrees of risk and returns associated with them.
Super and tax explained
There are certain things to be aware of when it comes to superannuation such as government tax incentives and the rules around them.
Making contributions
Once you've joined a super fund, there are several ways to get your super savings off to a great start.
Government incentive
The Government co-contributions scheme was introduced to help boost Australian superannuation savings by matching certain personal contributions you make
Spouse contributions
Did you know you can make contributions to your super account on behalf of your spouse?
Changing jobs
When you start a new job, you may be asked if you'd like to join the super fund of your company's choice. But what's the best choice for you?
Rollover
If you've had more than one job, chances are you'll have more than one superannuation account and you'll be paying multiple fees. Consolidate all your money in one account, pay less and earn more.
Salary sacrifice
Another way to boost your balance and potentially save on tax by contributing an additional part of your salary.
Keeping Track
Keep track of your savings and investment options.
Insurance
Consider insurance through your fund.
