Meanwhile, personal super FUMA decreased by 12% to $37.5 billion to $274.5 billion. However, DEXX&R said this was related to changes by Westpac.
“Some of this decrease can be attributed to Westpac reclassifying $18.3 billion from its “Super for life” product from personal to corporate during December 2021 quarter.”
