      Hello BWF,

      Thank you for your inquiry.

      We have a comparison page for superannuation funds in Australia. Please take note that the sites listed may measure the funds in a different manner from each other. Some of them may compute returns prior fees while others would be returns after fees. Also, relative definitions may be used such as top-rated funds (which means in some that they have returns of not less than 10%).

      It would still be recommended to talk with your employer to check your super funds’ options or to a qualified financial adviser who will take into consideration your goals and risk appetite.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan
