Super continues to stack up as a great long-term investment
Despite all that’s happened on markets, over the long term super still remains one of the best and most tax-effective ways you can save for your retirement.
At the end of one of the worst financial years for global share markets, the AUSCOAL Super Balanced investment option still returned 4.94%* per annum for the five years ending 30 June 2009... and this is after fees and taxes.
And did you know…
- Research by SuperRatings shows that the average annual return from balanced investment options since compulsory super started in 1992 is 6.7% every year… even after the falls of the past 18 months or so! That is 4% above inflation over the same period.
- Looking at it another way, if you’d invested $20,000 in 1992 it would be worth about $60,000 today. That’s down on what it would have been worth before the latest financial crisis, from about $70,000, but it’s still triple your money!
*Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
