Reduce your fees and take control of your super
Why manage many accounts when all you need is one? Consolidating your super is simple and makes sense.
Consolidate with NGS to reduce your total fees and take control of your money and future.
Benefits of consolidating your super
Save money on fees
Why pay multiple fees to multiple funds? Keeping your savings in one fund means you’ll only pay one set of fees. Consolidate with NGS, where all profits are directed to members and we continually work to keep costs low.
Keep track of where you're at
When your savings are in the one place, it’s easier to keep track of how they’re performing. And you can manage your NGS account at any time through our Member Online portal.
Less administration
It’s hard to keep on top of things when you’re receiving communication from too many places. Consolidating your super means fewer emails in your inbox and more time spent doing the things you enjoy. NGS will only send you the things that matter.
Why consolidate with NGS?
For every $50,000 you held with a median retail super fund for the last five years, NGS could have earned you an extra $2,900. That's $2,900 more invested and growing for your future.*

Other factors should be considered when choosing a superannuation fund. You should ask your other super fund for information about any fees or charges that may apply, or any other information about the effect this transfer may have on benefits such as your insurance cover before making a decision to combine your super.
*This illustration shows how a super balance of $50,000 five years ago might have grown to 31 Dec 2020 with NGS Super, compared to the same balance over the same period in a median retail master trust.
It illustrates that a number of factors (including investment performance, insurance premiums and fees) can combine to produce a meaningful difference in superannuation balance outcomes in different funds over a relatively short period of time. Relevant factors are shown in the table below.
For simplicity, the illustration takes no account of any contributions (whether employer superannuation guarantee or member additional voluntary) and shows only what the outcome might have been based on the stated assumptions for the starting superannuation balance shown.

Investment performance: 5yr return p.a. for balanced investment option (NGS: Diversified (MySuper)) |
5.69% [i] | 5.25% [ii] | |
Admin fees p.a. | $65 [i] | $92 [iii] | |

The illustration is an estimate only and does not represent the actual outcome that would have occurred for any particular person. ‘Median retail master trust’ refers to a group of super funds that include those run by the big banks and AMP. The details extracted are for the median of that group and do not relate to any particular fund. Past investment performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. General advice warning
