How super

works

What is Super?

Your super is likely to be one of the biggest assets you’ll own, but many people struggle to understand how to get the most out of it to create financial security in retirement. A Hostplus financial planner explains the key features of super that could help you save for your retirement.


What is net benefit?

Net benefit is the simplest, most powerful way to measure how much value your superannuation fund offers. Hear from a Hostplus financial planner as they explain what ‘net benefit’ means and why you should care about it.


Tools for managing your super

Hostplus has five simple digital tools that could help manage your super. Hear from a Hostplus financial planner as he unpacks how they can help you plan for your future.


Using super to save for a home deposit

The First Home Super Saver Scheme or FHSSS, is a Federal Government initiative to help first-time home buyers buy their dream home. A Hostplus superannuation adviser explains the factors to consider when using this strategy.
