Dismantling industry super governance model detrimental to savings
The Federal Government’s attempt to dismantle industry superannuation funds member-focussed model will be to the detriment of retirement savings, Industry Super Australia (ISA) believes.
ISA pointed to SuperRatings monthly data that found on average industry funds had outperformed bank-owned funds by more than two per cent over 10 years.
ISA chief executive, David Whiteley, said: “There is no doubt that the governance of industry super funds is a key driver of their superior outperformance”.
"Member-first governance and culture is the reason industry super funds have consistently outperformed bank-owned super funds,” he said.
Whiteley noted that the Government had not advanced any evidence that their proposals would improve returns for members.

With super funds turning increasingly to private credit to lift returns, experts have cautioned that the high-yield asset class carries hidden risks that are often misunderstood.
The super fund has confirmed its chair Andrew Fraser plans to retire at its upcoming annual member meeting in November.
Australia’s superannuation sector is being held back by overlapping and outdated regulation, ASFA says, with compliance costs almost doubling in seven years – a drain on member returns and the economy alike.
