How to make the most of your super:
Consolidate your super:
Combine all your super into a single Mercer Tailored Super account. Enjoy fewer fees + better control of your account = more savings.
Make contributions:
Adding a bit more to your super every so often can make a huge difference in the long run.
Watch this video to learn more about the various ways you can contribute to super and the opportunities it provides.
Nominate a beneficiary:
This means letting us know who should receive your super (including any insurance payout) when you pass away. It’s not something we want to think about, but it’s important to nominate a beneficiary.
Increase investment knowledge:
Get to know your investment options and understand how your money is invested. It may sound tricky to start but understanding how you are invested puts you in the front foot.
Watch this video to learn more about how your super is invested and your investment options.
Insurance:
It’s easy to set up your insurance but it provides you and your loved ones the peace of mind.
Watch this video to find out more on how your insurance in super works.
