It’s never too early to start planning your financial future.
Giving thought to your superannuation now can pay off big time in the long run.
And what’s not to love about that?!
This week, Clarity Road is shining the spotlight on superannuation resources to help you maximise your money.

Superannuation Comparison Tools

It’s time to pick your superannuation fund. But the broach range of options across different providers is complicating your choice.

That’s where online comparison tools come in. These websites analyse and rate super funds to help you to identify your ideal choice.

It’s important to note that these comparison tools each create their own rating criteria. Some will place great importance on low fees, while others will rate customer service or long term performance as preferable.

Nonetheless, it never hurts to do your research and consider how different funds stack up. These sites can help you do just that:

Money Smart Superannuation Fact Sheets

Many people don’t have a good grasp of what their super does and how it works. But understanding your money is key to making the most of your superannuation fund.

Money Smart have published a series of fact sheets on super decisions, self-managed super funds, accessing early super and financial decisions to be made at retirement. These information packs can help you to get your head around the whole superannuation process.

SuperSeeker

Many Australians have multiple super funds – some of which we don’t even remember we own! Multiple super accounts mean that you are paying multiple fees to your super providers, reducing your overall investment. No thank you!

Use the SuperSeeker tool to track down lost super and combine your accounts.
