Super planners not reaching highest pay bracket
Financial planners from superannuation funds are overall paid higher than their retail bank colleagues but are not receiving salaries in the highest bracket, according to the results of a salary survey by Super Review's sister publication Money Management.
The survey found seven per cent of retail bank planners said they were earning $220,000 to $249,000, whereas no super fund planners had salaries in that bracket.
However, 34 per cent of super fund planners earned less than $110,000, while 74 per cent of their peers in retail banks reported salaries below that mark.
Superannuation funds were found on top at the higher end of the pay scale with 28 per cent earning over $150,000, compared with 15 per cent of retail bank planners.

The future of superannuation policy remains uncertain, with further reforms potentially on the horizon as the Albanese government seeks to curb the use of superannuation as a bequest vehicle.
Superannuation funds will have two options for charging fees for the advice provided by the new class of adviser.
The proposed reforms have been described as a key step towards delivering better products and retirement experiences for members, with many noting financial advice remains the “urgent missing piece” of the puzzle.
APRA’s latest data has revealed that superannuation funds spent $1.3 billion on advice fees, with the vast majority sent to external financial advisers.
