Compare Our Performance

The Rainmaker/Selecting Super Benchmark Indices provide consumers and super funds with the most relevant means of comparing their investment returns against performance benchmarks. These indices are compiled from a detailed analysis of actual super fund performance, which covers over $460 billion in super money on behalf of nearly 16 million member accounts in Australia.

The indices reflect net investment performance as comparable to what members would actually receive in their accounts and include master trusts, industry funds, Government funds and corporate funds.

Timing the market?

Superannuation is a long term investment. It is time in the market rather than trying to time the market that produces better results.

History shows that members who regularly switch investment options, trying to pick the right time in a particular asset class invariably get it wrong and end up worse off than those who select an investment strategy that suits their risk profile and stick with it.

If timing the market was easy, wouldn't we all be retired by now with billions in the bank?

Monthly Rates

When are earnings allocated?

On or around the 20th of each month the earnings rates for the various investment options are calculated and allocated to members accounts. 

The monthly rate is converted to a daily rate and allocated to the daily balance of a members account for the entire month.
