Industry super funds will deliver on MySuper outcomes: Industry Super Network
The Industry Super Network (ISN) has used the latest SuperRatings performance figures to justify its claim that industry super funds are best placed to deliver on MySuper.
SuperRatings found that the median industry fund outperformed the median retail fund over rolling one, three, five, seven and 10-year periods, with an average outperformance of 2 per cent.
ISN deputy chief executive Alison McIvor said the data showed the impact that higher fees, commissions and lesser investment performance has on returns for retail fund members.
“This new data shows why the MySuper criteria needs to be as rigorous as possible,” McIvor said.
“Where people don’t actively choose their own super fund — which is many Australians — it is critical that their workplace default fund be the best possible and have a strong history of solid net investment performance,” she added.
McIvor said the data was unambiguous and showed that the industry fund model, with low fees and no commissions, has delivered superior outcomes for members.

A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
