Industry superannuation fund
Monday August 18, 2008
Superannuation fund choices can be made by each individual worker in Australia, and many choose to use an industry superannuation fund. The reasons for this can vary, but a benefit that an industry superannuation fund can have is that it can charge lower fees. This is mostly due to the non-profit nature of an industry superannuation fund, which has its superannuation fund clients' interests in mind rather than the interests of share holders.
An industry superannuation fund is not necessarily the lowest cost option for superannuation fund management, though. A self managed superannuation fund requires more effort to manage, but it can cost much less in fees than other types of superannuation funds. This makes choosing a superannuation fund somewhat difficult, as the benefits of a self managed superannuation fund can be outweighed by the inconvenience of personal management. Each individual superannuation fund type will also have different levels of average performance. It is important to find a balance between low fees and a good level of returns.
