With so much choice, how do you know you're with the right super fund for you? We're confident your account's in great hands, but what's important is that you feel the same way.

Here are four indicators of a super account that's acting in your best interests:

We work for you, not others

We're an industry super fund, so we're run to profit members. Not every fund works this way. At CareSuper, we're not trying to generate money for shareholders just your future. 

We're strategic with your investments

It can be tempting to chase the cheapest fund. However, they may be skimping on areas that are important to you- like strategically investing your money. Our focus is on active investment management, so we're always hunting for investment opportunities in Australia and overseas that will add that bit extra to your return. We could just follow the ASX and give you the same results as a cheaper fund, but we know you expect more.

We have a track record of consistent results

It’s important to check the consistency of returns. One year performing at the top means exactly that. A single good year. You're going to want the best for your super for longer. Looking at a longer time period can give you a better picture of a fund's ability to deliver results. 

We're focused on the whole puzzle, not just one piece

Say you're buying a new TV. You'll weigh up a few things in your decision-making, like price and energy efficiency. Your super's no different. Low fees or strong returns alone don't always mean you'll have a bigger balance in the long run. It could come down to how they're working together. Look at the overall picture, or 'net benefit', instead. It’s the combination of consistent long-term returns, minus fees, that’s the truest indicator of performance. A higher net benefit literally means more money. The good news? You're already with a fund focused on net benefit performance. But don't just take our word for it.
