High fees eat into super fund returns

Australian superannuation fund members are hit with some of the highest charges in the world. Super funds collect a hefty A$30 billion a year in fees, and cross-country comparisons show that Australian retail funds, operated by banks and other finance companies, are particularly pricey. The Productivity Commission estimates savings of A$1.8 billion a year if the 50 highest-cost funds merged with 10 of the most efficient funds. Listen to the story. INTHEBLACK Out Loud brings you a curated selection of audio articles from CPA Australia's award-winning magazine, INTHEBLACK. Stories span a wide range of topics, including business, career development and the economy, and offer key insights into strategic thought leadership and expert analysis. INTHEBLACK Out Loud is presented by CPA Australia.
