Do you know how much is in your super? Or what it’s invested in?
Most Australians know what's in their bank account but superannuation? Not a clue. This lack of attention has a cost- missing out on thousands more at retirement.
So today, Jess gives her super a 5-step health check. She'd love for you to do the same alongside her.
Walking us through the list is Jen, Head of Technical Services at MLC. Jen explains the small decisions that can make all the difference including; checking your fees, insurances and investment settings.
By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly what to check, what to fix, and how to make super part of your financial habits.
