The fees and costs on your super account make a big difference. Higher fees will generally eat into your hard-earned savings – meaning less money to spend in retirement.

Our fees and costsWe only charge the administration fee of 0.10% p.a. on the first $800,000 of your account balance.
We don’t pay shareholders, which means we offer competitive fees and can give profits back to members as better value products and services.
Low fees are important to think about when picking a super fund. But investment performance also matters.
This is where a combo of competitive fees and strong performance works well. Together, they give you the boost you need for a better financial future.
You're with a low cost super fund but your investments are underperforming year after year. It's not great for your balance.
In fact, you could end up with less super than if you were with a fund that had slightly higher fees but much better long-term performance.
