Pool your super into one big account

Why you should consolidate your super

Around 40% of us have more than one super account  – this is usually a result of starting a new job. In fact, Aussies hold at least $14 billion in ‘lost’ super accounts - money they’ve probably forgotten about. It’s an astonishing amount – the gross domestic product (GDP) of Malta or Mongolia. Around $600 for every man, woman and child in the country.

There are a number of advantages to combining your super savings into a single account. It will make it easier to keep track of your money, cut down on paperwork, maximise your super savings and potentially reduce the amount of account fees you have to pay.

Little effort. Big payoff.

You can roll your super into a single account electronically or via paper form, the old school way. And because we like to make things easy, MLC, our superannuation specialists, will even help you set up an account and find any lost super hiding out there.

Before you make the decision to consolidate, it’s important that you:

• confirm that your new fund will offer you (and you can obtain) appropriate insurance cover  to replace any cover you may lose if you change funds
• check to see if there are any termination or exit fees from your current fund
• compare the total fees with your existing funds
• ensure you lodge your ‘Notice of intent’ with the Trustee and an acknowledgement is received (if you intend to claim a tax deduction for personal contribution/s made to the current fund)
• consider the impact on the tax and preservation components of each of your existing funds
• check with your employer that they’re able to contribute to your chosen fund.
