Recently I spoke about superannuation at two different events on the same day. After each one, people sidled up to me with panicked looks on their faces to ask this very question.
What's the relationship between the tariffs and my super?
Donald Trump's implementation of tariffs has caused havoc globally. Sharemarkets, both international and local have been in freefall; the ASX initially lost over 7% - a whopping $160bn - before recovering over 4.5% as at 14 April 2025.
We need to remember company shares are priced according to available information and confidence levels. The sharemarket does not like unexpected bad news.
Which is exactly what The Don and his team gave us on Liberation Wednesday. The speed and weight of the tariff implementations caught everyone offguard, hence the sharemarket falls.
To use a metaphor: the US has always been at the centre of global finance - the hub of a wheel, with the spokes reliant on it for stability. Now, the hub has decided to hit the road on its own.
Every time I check my super balance, it's less!
With the recent super cyber attacks, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd been hacked when you logged in and saw your lower super balance.
Once you've established your super account is safe, remember this. Your superannuation is invested in local, and international, sharemarkets. The volatility in sharemarkets - reflecting the newsflow from the US - translates into your super balance dropping.
Ongoing uncertainty means your super balance may be doing an impersonation of a yo-yo for a while.

3 things you should do at volatile times like this
1. Don't panic. It's tempting to switch your super and other investments wholly into cash but that can just lock in losses. It can also leave you out of the market when the market rebounds. And, while past performance is no predictor of the future, we can take comfort in the fact that the ASX100 has recovered from this kind of volatility before.

2. Stop checking your balance daily. Are you able to control how the markets - and therefore your super - behave? No. So why cause yourself more anguish?
A more useful strategy is to check your mix of assets within your fund. If retirement is only a few years away, you may want to consider a higher weighting of cash or lower-risk assets such as bonds or gold. If you've got a decade or more until retirement, then growth assets such as shares should be able to weather any future volatility.
3. Remember this is an endurance race. It's time in the market, not timing the market.
And for the contrarians… now is a great buying opportunity!

Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
