  • Make Sense of the Fees Your Fund is Charging You

      

    To understand how much you are really paying in super fund fees, you have to demystify the myriad ways different funds describe their fees. The good news is that it is not as complex as it sounds.
    By Alex Dunnin

      

     KEY POINTS
    • The more fees you pay, the more your fund must earn to make up the fees.
    • While there are many types of fees, you can group fees together to derive an overall fee measure.
    • Paying higher fees doesn't buy you better returns, but it does buy you more flexibility.
    • You can use the SelectingSuper fee calculator to derive your overall level of fees. This is your total expense ratio (TER).
