4 ways to boost your super today

1. Round up your lost Super

If you lose contact with your Super, you can't manage how it is invested and you may be losing money to unnecessary fees. Small differences in fees can make a big difference to your balance.

4. Make sure you're on track

The right assets are critical to getting the right return at a level of risk you're comfortable with. Make sure your balance is invested in the right option for your personality type.
