I don’t have much super as i used it to pay into my Mortgage. Not sure who to go with to start over and which type of investment to choose?
Hi Jo,
You can take a look at some of the different super funds and their investment options here: https://www.finder.com.au/super-funds
We’d suggest speaking with a financial advisor for personal advice and recommendations on specific funds, as well as which investment option to choose. This will depend on a range of factors such as your age and risk tollerance.
In general, it’s best to look for a fund with low fees and strong, long-term returns.
Thanks,
Alison
