2021 Account Based Pensions Star Ratings and Award

2021 Account Based Pension Star Ratings and Outstanding Value Award

Canstar’s Account Based Pensions Outstanding Award and Star Ratings are designed to help consumers narrow their search for a product that offers them excellent value.

Canstar uses a sophisticated and unique methodology that compares the annual investment returns, fees and features of account based pensions. Products are assigned a Star Rating from one to five stars, with a 5-Star Rating representing a product found to offer great value to consumers.

Providers with the highest total scores for their best-performing investment option across the various investment profiles considered received an Outstanding Value Award.
