Industry funds increase lead in member satisfaction
Industry super funds increased their lead in member satisfaction over their retail counterparts over the last year, now leading by 4.8 percentage points compared to 1.6 per cent a year ago.
The latest data from Roy Morgan’s Single Source survey showed that industry funds scored 6.2 per cent satisfaction with financial performance compared to 57.3 per cent from retail funds, which represented an increase of 1.4 points and a decrease of 1.6 points respectively.
The highest rating fund for satisfaction was Catholic Super with 72.1 per cent, followed by UniSuper on 70.8 per cent. Only two retail funds, Macquarie with 65.9 per cent and Colonial First State with 60.4, made it into the top ten funds for satisfaction.
