How we compare superannuation
There are over 350 superannuation funds in the Australian market so how do you know what’s best for you?

We compared 81 super funds. Our number one criterion was to compare only those funds which any one of us could join. That meant we did not rate corporate funds, as well as restricted industry and employer funds.

If you could only become a member of a fund by working at a certain place, we deemed that fund restrictive. Instead, we concentrated on industry funds that anyone can join and retail funds that you can join without the stipulation of going through a financial advisor. That way, we ensured we were comparing apples with apples.
