Hi,

Does anyone know if there are websites that provides comparisons of superannuation funds? Any good advice on picking one?

    It really does depend on a lot of factors. More info will get you a better answer!

    Well this is best for a financial advisor.

    For general informaiton, try SuperRatings or APHRA - government website which has statistics.

    almost certainly an industry fund - http://industrysuperfunds.com.au/
    Find a public offer fund ie open to the general public; most are. I have moved between 3 of them over the years depending on my needs.

      Pretty comprehensive, think I'll start there. Thanks :)

    Some of those comparison sites can "accidentally" exclude some funds.

    If you are looking for a reasonable fund consider this one as well…

    Australian Government Employees Superannuation Trust (anyone can join)
    "Canstar Cannex has awarded AGEST's account based pension a five-star rating."

    OzBargain has a wiki page that lists comparison websites:

    (Canstar is listed there)

      Cheers I'll make sure I check these first next time :)

    Once you have narrowed down to a hand full of funds, you can use AustralianSuper's compare tool for free: http://www.australiansuper.com/campaigns/compare.html

    The data is compiled by http://www.chantwest.com.au, the catch is you have to compare your funds against AustralianSuper, which is not really a big deal (you can compare up to 10 funds at one go).

      The comparison tool looks good but doesn't work in FF6. Will try other browsers.
