Self-Managed Super Funds - The New Garden Shed

Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) have grown in popularity because many people prefer to choose their own investments and thus have greater control of their retirement savings. The idea may certainly be appealing to many and may be the best option for some, but the true cost of establishing and maintaining an SMSF can be misrepresented by agents who receive a significant payment for their services.

We are committed to member education

We believe that members who have a good understanding of financial matters make better decisions about their retirement savings. As a Fund, we are committed to member education and provide a wide variety of educational tools, programs and resources to members: 

From SuperFriend to Social Media

At NGS Super, we want to help our members to have the best future possible – and this is not limited to just their financial future.

Free Super Seminars - Get a fresh viewpoint on your super

Update your thinking and discover new ideas

Retirement may be a long way off for you, or it may be just a few years away. But one thing is for sure, it’s something we all have to consider. Come and hear some super ideas about saving more effectively for the future. The plans you put in place today can have a great impact on your lifestyle choices in the years ahead.

Active vs. passive investing - what does it mean?

NGS Super takes the responsibility of managing your money very seriously and we believe that an active style of investment management enhances member returns.

Free workplace presentations!

As part of NGS Super’s educative approach to superannuation, we offer presentations or individual appointments at your workplace designed to teach employees about their finances and give them an opportunity to ask questions about their superannuation.

Financial advice is important

It is a sobering reality that most people do not know how much money they will need to ensure a comfortable retirement. Making good decisions about how to best manage your money will assist you to build wealth and will determine whether you achieve your short and longer-term savings goals. Whilst it obviously matters how much money you have – it’s how you put your money to work that can make all the difference.

Community participation

NGS Super is the super fund dedicated to education and community-focussed organisations. We take pride in community participation and we sponsor two causes that are very special to us: the Mother’s Day Classic and the Marine Discovery Centre in South Australia.

NGS Super offers an array of products and services

We do more than just grow our member’s superannuation until retirement. We offer a range of value-for-money products and services. Here are just a few that you may not be aware of.
