Benefits of Consolidating Super Accounts
- Lower Fees: Each super account charges fees for administration, investment management, and insurance. Consolidating into one account reduces these duplicate costs.
- Easier Management: With a single account, you only need to monitor one balance, set of fees, and investment strategy, making it simpler to track your savings.
- Avoid Lost Super: Superannuation accounts can become lost or inactive over time. Consolidating ensures all your savings are in one place.
- Maximised Investment Growth: Larger balances often result in better investment opportunities, helping your super grow faster over time.
- Improved Transparency: By consolidating, you get a clear view of your retirement savings, making it easier to plan for the future.
Consolidating your super funds is a straightforward process and can have significant long-term benefits. Before consolidating, compare the fees, insurance, and investment options offered by different funds.
