We're an Industry Super Fund with low fees

 
 
All profits are returned to members.
As an industry super fund, we keep costs low and your fees to a minimum. Apart from basic running costs, all profits are returned to NGS Super members.

Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long term returns.


For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your fund balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30-year period. For example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000.

You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs. You may be able to negotiate to pay lower contribution fees and management costs where applicable. Ask your fund or financial adviser.

If you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website www. fido.asic.gov.au has a superannuation fee calculator to help you check out different fee options.

Under Australian Law, the Trustee must include this information about fees and costs.

The Trustee negotiates with service providers to ensure fees to members are kept as low as possible. There are no fees for contributions or fees paid to personal financial advisers. Fees are applied equitably to all members and management costs charged to individual members are not negotiable.
