GESB - Investment surveys

A key factor in how much super you will have at retirement is the investment returns that you receive after costs, fees and taxes are deducted. GESB regularly participates in surveys conducted by major independent research organisations including SuperRatings, Rainmaker Information and Chant West.

SuperRatings' Fund Crediting Rate Survey

SuperRatings specialises in researching industry, corporate and non-public offer super funds and master trust products in Australia. SuperRatings' Fund Crediting Rate Survey is conducted monthly and covers over 10 million member accounts and $300 billion in superannuation savings.
