FAQ's

Colonial’s super products are characterized by having a wide array of investment choice, making it easy for sophisticated investors and financial advisers to construct bespoke portfolios that cannot be done through most other funds. No flat fee makes the fees generally low depending on the investment selection for small balances.
This fund may be a good option for individuals that want flexibility themselves or have the assistance of a financial adviser.
However, there are many factors which determine whether a super fund is good or bad and it can differ depending on personal requirements. It’s best to seek advice from a qualified adviser in order to work out which is the best super fund for you.

No, it’s a retail super fund.
