More information about fees

  • What are the main types of fees and which ones apply to Virgin Money Super?

    Super funds charge you fees for the services they provide. All funds charge fees, though some less than others. Generally, a super fund with low fees will build your savings faster.

    The main types of fees are:

    • Administration fee – The general administration fees that cover the cost of keeping your super account.
    • Investment fee and cost  – The fees for managing your investment, which can vary depending on the investment options.
    • Transaction cost  – The costs associated with trading to manage the investment strategy for each investment option
    • Adviser service fee - Fees for personal advice you receive for your super and other investments. Your adviser may also receive commissions for investments they recommend to you.
    • Insurance premium - The cost of insurance provided through your super fund. Many super funds have a default insurance option. You can usually choose to lower or increase your cover based on your needs.

    Virgin Money Super charges administration fees, investment fees along with indirect costs. Full details can be found on Virgin Money Super’s fees page.

  • How can you tell if you're paying high fees?

    The only way to know if you're paying high fees is to find out what your super fund is charging you, and comparing the cost to other similar funds.

  • How is insurance charged through super?

    Most super funds offer life insurance for their customers. In many cases, Super funds are required to provide default life insurance as a matter of law. The cost also known as your insurance premiums are taken directly from your super balance. There are both pros and cons to having insurance through your super, one pro being that the premium comes from your super balance rather than your other income.

    Your employer's default super fund must offer a minimum level of life insurance, depending on your age. However you are under no obligation to take up the insurance and can cancel the insurance at any time. Alternatively you can usually increase or decrease the amount of insurance your have.

    If you're reviewing your life insurance, check what cover you have through your super fund so you can compare with other options.
