Industry Super Network has released a new report - A comparison of long term superannuation investment performance, that compares the average performance of for profit and not-for-profit superannuation sectors over a 14-year period, using published APRA data.
The report finds that retail super funds do not typically pass on benefits of scale to their members and pay above market rates for in-house services. As a result, retail super returns to their members have lagged not-for-profit funds by an average of nearly two per cent per annum, reducing super savings by thousands and national savings by tens of billions.
