- When speaking about APRA Super performance test: the superannuation annual performance test, APRA included the following:
64 MySuper options and
805 “trustee-directed products”
Out of MySuper products in 2023 one failed to meet the test benchmark, compared with 5 failing in 2022 and 13 in 2021.
The fund that failed the test this year is AMG MySuper, but it has been closed to new members in 2022 and the trustee will cease the product soon. AMG has since rebranded as Acclaim Wealth.
Out of 805 trustee-directed products 96 failed to meet the test benchmarks and 75% of those 96 are products offered by 4 trustees:
N. M. Superannuation Proprietary Limited, a trustee for many of AMP super products,
Nulis Nominees (Australia) Limited, the trustee for some of MLC superannuation products
Oasis Fund Management Limited, the trustee for IOOF currently named as Insignia Financial and
OnePath Custodians Pty Limited
Trustees of products that failed to pass the benchmarks must notify their members of the test outcomes by 28 September 2023. Trustees cannot accept new members into products that have failed for two consecutive years.
There were some 20 non-platform products that failed, including:
Australian Retirement Trust’s QSuper Socially Responsible fund,
three products from Crescent Wealth,
five products from OneSuper, and
three from ClearView Retirement Plan.
Our firm does not recommend any of those products, and I am not talking about them to criticise them, but rather to explain how those superannuation fees work, so you can make an informed decision based on the balance of your superannuation savings.
APRA says that the median administration fees and costs for platform trustee directed products were the highest at 0.54%of assets, compared to 0.27% for non-platform trustee directed products and 0.26% for MySuper products.
Well, let’s put those fees into the test checking two of the biggest super funds in Australia: AustralianSuper and Australia Retirement Trust. Regulator is looking at fees on super balance of $50,000

Do you really know your super fund's fees?
Super funds have become like insurance companies, despite what they tell us they're only in the game for the biggest profit they can take. When they say "here for your good", read, "here for our good". Great information and recommendations Katherine, thanks.
Well, super is a big business, so no wonder each fund wants a piece of the pie 😀
Another great video packed with super useful info!! Keep it up, Kath!!
Thank you 😀
Very informative as usual. It seems it’s definitely a case of reading everything, not just the ‘headlines’. Another reason to engage the services of a financial planner who has the expertise to know what to look for.
Thank you Gene 😀
Hi Katherine, Thank you for the the very informative videos , I watch at least 2 or 3 a day. I have a question: My partner and I are keeping our finances separate, can you please do a video highlighting the pros and cons of keeping partners finances separate especially for retirement phase.
Hi Katherine thanks for your great informative videos. I was wondering if you could do a video for us retirees on how individuals who are 67 years and older in Australia actually invest their money in superannuation funds (what investment strategies). I have been searching for a while now and haven't been able to source this data even from my super fund??
This information may, I say may give comfort to retirees to make more logical investment choices that might see their superannuation funds last longer. We are living longer so that would help.
Thanks again for your videos.
I agree. As for knowing how much to have has certainly changed since we retired.
This is a great suggestion, however the problem is that investment strategies are as personal as the shoes we are wearing, hence you will not be able to find any detailed explanation. Investment strategy is based on what one wants to achieve, what income goals you have, where income is to come from, not to mention the risk profile. This is all subject to personal discussion and most certainly it is a personal advice. In this open forum I can only provide a general information. Feel free to organise a meeting with me and then we can chat about your personal investment strategy.
I like your content very much. I have a question, how do they group the funds among themselves when they make this evaluation? How do they decide on the benchmark criterion? How can I access this information?
Informative video. Thank You! 👍
THis was a sobering video when you pointed out the hidden fees. Which fund is the best then?
There is no such thing as the best super fund, because we all are looking for different benefits. Fees are only one component.
Loving the info in your videos! I am looking to put personal concessional contributions into my super, claim the tax deduction by applying to the fund. I was wondering if I could use that money in the same financial year as part of setting up a TTR fund?
HI Kathy, I would suggest to organise a meeting for us, as I might have better ideas for you. Also I cannot reply in a general forum as your question is of more personal advice nature, so just organise a meeting and then we can chat and go into more details and explanation.
