Artisan Provides Great Tip on Finding Super

5th July, 2011

It’s come to our attention that not everybody is looking after their super. It’s your money so you’ll want to think about consolidating your super and making sure you getting the best value for money option available.

If you have multiple super funds, it’s in your best interest to consolidate. The process is easy, and simply requires you to complete some forms and pass on to your consolidating fund.

By consolidating your funds, you will reduce fees and with more money in one account increase your returns.

Where is my super? The Australian Government provides a service called SuperSeeker, it’s online and quick and easy to use. It will only take you a couple of minutes to search out you wayward super funds.

To complete a search you must provide your:

• tax file number (TFN)
• family and given names
• date of birth.

I undertook the process myself and found a very old super fund that I didn’t know about! It works.

The site offers a transfer form for you to complete to have your super rolled over. You will need the Australian Business Number (ABN) & account number of the fund you wish to roll it over to.

Why is it important to keep an eye on you super?

If you have more than one super fund and you’re not contributing to them regularly then while they will earn some interest you may be being charged administration fees, which over time can reduce your investment or in some cases deplete your account all together.

You work too hard for your money to be eaten away by administration fees. Today is a great day to look into your super. Keep in mind that most employers remit super on a quarterly basis, so the April – June amounts may not have hit your account yet.
