Why choose a low fee super fund?

Super funds have different fees and costs, and together with performance, this makes a big difference.

Higher fees will generally eat into your hard-earned retirement savings - meaning less money for you to spend once you stop working.

Choosing a super fund with low fees today can give you more confidence about your financial security for your future.

Profit for members
We work for members, not shareholders.

We don’t pay shareholders, which means we can give back profits to members as low fees and better services.

How low fees help your balance

Fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your super over the course of your working life.

For example, an increase in fees of just 0.5% can cost a typical full-time worker about 12% of their balance (or $100,000) by the time they reach retirement.1

Focused on low fees

We’re focused on charging members low fees for the products and services we provide, as we know the less you pay in fees on your super account the more savings you could have in retirement.

Annual fee cap

QSuper accounts have a cap of $875 per year on the administration fees and costs you pay. So we provide a rebate if you pay more than $875 across your Accumulation and Income account/s.
