Could It Be A Shaky Year For Your Superannuation Fund?

Monday February 2, 2009

While you may be hoping for a recovery for your superannuation fund savings after last year's losses, this year could also see widespread losses. This does not necessarily mean that you will benefit much from switching to a lower risk fund, as you may not know when to switch back and could thus simply cement your losses. It would be a good idea to save on superannuation fund expenses where possible, however, such as on fees.

When working out where you will get the biggest saving on fees, you must be careful not to respond to advertising too much. Even if an advertisement gives a convincing example of how the advertised superannuation fund can save you money, you should still figure out whether that saving will apply to your situation. For instance, while a self managed superannuation fund with a flat fee can save some people money on management costs, if you do not have the time for management, then you could quickly find yourself in trouble.
