    I'm with Sunsuper.

    Before 2010 parating nasa negative yung performance ng super ko using default settings - instead positive eh meron akong loss every financial year end. After 2010 pinaglaruan ko yung mga ibang funds, kaya puro positive results na ako hangang ngayon. Happy, um pwede na rin. What I would like is more transparency sa mga investment funds like laymans explanation kung anung klaseng fund at anung companies sila nag-iinvest. Sadly, this will never happen kasi there's an industry behind this unless i-regulate ng gov't. Anyway, swertehan lang yan.

    Another thing, I think I've read in the Singapore vs Australia thread that you can't buy property using your Super. It's the opposite pero matrabaho and I still have to familiarise myself with the rules.

    Go for the industry funds kung nagsisimula pa lang kayo. Mas matipid kasi sila...yung performance pare-pareho lang sila ngayon kasi maganda takbo ng ekonomiya so magkakatalo sa cost.

    Yup, its the industry funds that got me into the negative territory. Pero, ok lang yan, as time goes, you learn to manage and probably you might obtain some insider tips/info.

    If you can indulge me Sir since you mentioned industry fund; can you please tell me the clear distinction between a retail fund and an industry fund?

    Cheers!!

    Retail fund is the one you get from AMP, CBA and many other institutions...Yung Industry fund yung usually ginagamit ng employers at specialised groups.

    Mas mura yung Industry kasi discounted rates siya. As far as managing it is concerned, mas mainam kung may dedicated financial adviser kayo na magbabantay niyan. If you want to do this on your own, you will need to immerse yourself with the ATO rules; stock market; bond market --and not all of us have the time for that hehe.

    So our general advice is to basically, set it and forget it...lalo na kung 20+ years till retirement pa kayo...Any negative fluctuation in the market will be smoothen out as time passes by :)

    Yup happy, I'm not sure kung Australiansuper ang number one sa superannuation. I think pumapangalawa ay ang industry fund.

    Guys, ano po ba maganda superannuation company? Any inputs or experiences with your super?

    Also, pwede naman mag-transfer ng superannuation company di po ba, kung hindi ako masyado satisifed sa performance ng super ko?

    Thanks po sa mga sasagot!!!

    P.S. Gusto ko din sana magtanong about self-managed funds, pero later na lang pag nakapag-basa na ako about it. Parang napaka-kumplikado ng SMSF.

    @Nadine, yes you can transfer or roll-over your Super to another company if you are not satisfied with the service... There may be a small fee so you can check on your existing super company on this.

    There are various websites that rates the various supers in different criteria; one of them is http://www.canstar.com.au/superannuation/; you may want to check on this... :)

    You can open naman an account with any super company; once your account is opened, you will be given information on how to go about making any contribution... No need to involve the gov't at this point.

    Balikan ko ito:

    My super company is Mercer Superannuation Trust while kay wifey naman is Australian Super...

    As we just started work and EOFY na, we will be eligible for gov't co-contribution as our income for 2012-2013 is very low. We are going to contribute $1000 in order to get a free contribution from the gov't of $500 - not bad for free money noh?

    Sayang naman if hindi ma utilize! :)

    The govt announced that employers will increase superannuation contribution by 0.25% per employee come 1st July.

    Tricky to, I think.

    Kasi if the super you're receiving is included in your gross income as per contract, mababawasan ang effective take-home pay. Not good. Well, not bad either kasi it will go to your super pa rin naman. But most of us here are just starting a life in Au, we do need cash inflow right now. But if the super guarantee is over and above the gross salary, sobrang ok din naman to.

    Any thoughts?

    Mababawasan ang take home ko I reckon... My super is built in to my annual salary - so instead of an addition .25%, ibabawas ito sa salary ko...
