smartmart07 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction regarding superannuation funds? I am 54 and receive a Fire Service pension from the UK. I have just taken up a new job in Chatswood NSW, and was wondering which would be the best fund to choose. I intend to stay working until I am at least 65 may be beyond. So the question is essentially what is the best type fund to select in terms of my requirements. Not bothered about making contributions, I have read some excellent threads on here and been looking on the Govt website. Do I choose a starter, builder etc? As it could possibly only be for another 10-15 years what is the best direction to go in? I have been led to believe that I need to look for low fees, overall performance over 5 years or so. I would appreciate any thoughts/replies. Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyNook Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Industry funds are said to have the lowest fees and often perform pretty well. Is there an obvious fund associated with your occupation or profession? If so, I'd be checking them out first - rather than picking a super fund offered by the big banks or insurance companies.

smartmart07 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Cheers NickyNook, The job it's in the consultancy sector, Building Surveyor. I shall take your advice and ask them. I just wanted to canvas opinion on here, as I am sure that I am not the first person in this situation. Cheers, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
