Get the most out of your retirement savings

Superannuation Finance
24 November 2020 5 min read

Start 2021 ensuring you are getting the most out of your retirement savings.

Following an unprecedented year in 2020, take four simple actions today to help you feel more in control of your future.

As a profit-for-members super fund, we want to ensure you’re feeling confident about your finances and getting the most out of your retirement savings.

Here are four simple steps you can take today.

1

Track your account balance

Regularly review your balance in Member Online or with the QSuper app. This will help you keep on top of:

  • The payments you are receiving.
  • The earnings on your balance.

If you have any questions about your account details, we are here to help.

2

Monitor your investments

Choosing the right investment option for you can make a big difference to your retirement lifestyle. If you’re unsure, accessing financial advice might help you decide on the right investment options for you.


QSuper’s unique long-term investment strategy is designed to weather the ups and downs of market conditions. Despite the unexpected challenges of 2020, our strong performance, low fees and unique investment strategy have delivered for our members in a year like no other, including being named SuperRatings Fund of the Year.


QSuper’s Chief Investment Officer, Charles Woodhouse, explains how our investment strategy works and has supported members in an economic environment impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

3

Choose who receives your super

Your super doesn't automatically form part of your estate, and can't just be included in your Will, but you can choose what happens to your super when you die.


Choosing who you'd like your super to go to when you pass away can give you peace of mind that your family will have a financially secure future.


Find out more about binding death benefit nominations.

4

Attend a seminar

QSuper has created a seminar exclusively for QSuper members already enjoying life after work, to help keep you in control of your finances in retirement. Find out more about Retirement Smart.

We’re here to help

As a QSuper member you have access to over-the-phone financial advice. Personal financial advice may help you save money right now, build a better future retirement, protect what you have and set strategic goals.
