- How do I switch super funds?
- You can switch by opening an account with your new fund and completing a rollover form. Most funds also let you do this online through myGov. The process usually takes 3-5 business days. Make sure to check for exit fees and insurance implications before switching.
- What is MySuper?
- MySuper is a standardised, low-cost default super product. All employers must offer a MySuper product as the default option. These products must pass APRA's annual performance test or face consequences including closure to new members.
- Where do the fees and returns come from?
- From APRA's Comprehensive Product Performance Package, with data to 30 June 2026. Returns are what a member with $50,000 earned after all fees and taxes; fees are total fees and costs on a $50,000 balance. For lifecycle products the figures are for the stage with the most growth assets. Past returns do not predict future ones.
- Will I lose insurance if I switch funds?
- Yes, your existing insurance cover ends when you switch. Your new fund may offer different insurance, and you may need to pass health checks for certain cover levels. Always secure new insurance before cancelling old cover, especially if you have pre-existing conditions.
- What's the difference between industry and retail super funds?
- Industry funds are run as not-for-profit for members' benefit, often with lower fees. Retail funds are run by banks or investment companies for profit. Both can deliver strong returns, but historically industry funds have had lower fees on average.
