Important Information

This advice is general and has not taken into account your objectives, financial situation, or needs. It is not personal advice. Consider whether this advice is right for you, having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs. You may need financial advice from a suitably qualified adviser. For more information, read Canstar’s Financial Services and Credit Guide (FSCG) and our detailed disclosure. Canstar may receive a fee for referring you to a product provider – for further information, see how we get paid. Payment of fees for ads does not influence our Star Ratings or Awards.

Canstar is a comparison website, not a product issuer, so it’s important to check any product information directly with the provider. Consider the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS), Target Market Determination (TMD) and other applicable product documentation before making a decision to purchase, acquire, invest in or apply for a financial or credit product. Contact the product issuer directly for a copy of the PDS, TMD and other documentation.

Canstar is an information provider and in giving you product information Canstar is not making any suggestion or recommendation about a particular credit product or loan. If you decide to apply for a credit product or loan, you will deal directly with a credit provider, and not with Canstar. Rates and product information should be confirmed with the relevant credit provider. For more information, read the credit provider’s key facts sheet and other applicable loan documentation for that product. Read the Comparison Rate Warning.
All information about performance returns is historical. Past performance should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance; unit prices and the value of your investment may fall or rise.

Canstar is an information provider and in giving you product information Canstar is not making any suggestion or recommendation about a particular product. The information has been prepared without taking into account your individual investment objectives, financial circumstances or needs. Before you decide whether or not to acquire a particular financial product you should assess whether it is appropriate for you in the light of your own personal circumstances, having regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs. You may wish to obtain financial advice from a suitably qualified adviser before making any decision to acquire a financial product.

Canstar may earn a fee for referrals from its website tables and from Promotion or Sponsorship of certain products. Fees payable by product providers for referrals and Sponsorship or Promotion may vary between providers, website position, and revenue model. Sponsorship or Promotion fees may be higher than referral fees.

On our ratings results, comparison tables and some other advertising, we may provide links to third party websites. The primary purpose of these links is to help consumers continue their journey from the ‘research phase’ to the ‘purchasing’ phase. If customers purchase a product after clicking a certain link, Canstar may be paid a commission or fee by the referral partner. Where products are displayed in a comparison table, the display order is not influenced by commercial arrangements and the display sort order is disclosed at the top of the table.

Sponsored or Promoted products are clearly disclosed as such on the website page. They may appear in a number of areas of the website, such as in comparison tables, on hub pages, and in articles. The table position of the Sponsored or Promoted product does not indicate any ranking or rating by Canstar.

Sponsored or Promoted products table
- Sponsored or promoted products that are in a table separate to the comparison tables in this article are displayed from lowest to highest annual cost.
- Performance figures shown for Sponsored or Promoted products reflect net investment performance, i.e. net of investment tax, investment management fees and the applicable administration fees based on an account balance of $50,000. To learn more about performance information, click here.
- Please note that all information about performance returns is historical. Past performance should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance; unit prices and the value of your investment may fall as well as rise.
