What are reportable superannuation contributions?

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.

Performance and Investment Allocation Differences

• Fee, performance and asset allocation information shown in the table above have been determined according to the investment profile in the Canstar Superannuation Star Ratings methodology.
• Some providers use different age groups for their investment profiles which may result in you being offered or being eligible for a different product to what is displayed in the table. See here for more details.
• Australian Retirement Trust Super Savings’ allocation of funds for investors aged 55-99 differ from Canstar’s methodology – see details here.
• The Australian Retirement Trust Super Savings (formerly Sunsuper for Life) product may appear in the table multiple times.
