Underperforming Super Funds
This table outlines the super fund products that have failed APRA’s performance test.
The performance test is undertaken as part of the Government’s “Your Future Your Super” (YFYS) reforms, which came into effect on July 1 2021.
Super Performance Test
Under these reforms, Super Funds are required to undergo an annual performance test for their MySuper products called The MySuper Performance Test. The purpose of this test is to hold super providers to account if they fail to achieve certain performance benchmarks, by increasing transparency and consequences for funds who do not meet these benchmarks.
The MySuper Performance Test Outcomes for August 2021 were based on an assessment of 80 MySuper Products, with 13 (included in this table) failing the test.
These funds represent approximately 6% of the funds included in the assessment, with approximately 1 million members invested in these products.
What Happens To These Under Performing Super Funds?
