For full details of our fees and costs including definitions and explanations, please refer to the Product Disclosure Statement.
Super fees and
your net benefit
Your return is the amount of money your investment earns. Take away admin fees, investment fees and taxes and other indirect expenses from your returns and what’s left is your net benefit. That’s why it’s important to understand the impact of fees and costs on your investment, and why we encourage you to read this information and the PDS closely.
Fees and costs may change from time to time, which may affect the value of your investment.
Our
administration fee
If you love saving, you’ll love our low admin fee.
We have one of the lowest administration fees of any MySuper product.1 Why? Lower fees mean more of your money is invested in your future.
Our super admin fee
If you have an accumulation account, you will pay a member admin fee of $1.50 per week ($78 p.a.).*
Our pension admin fee
If you have a pension account, you will pay a pension member admin fee of $4.50 per week.*
