Compound growth allows your super returns to be reinvested and generate their own returns, helping your balance grow much faster over time. Here's how it works.
Superannuation is the main way of saving for your retirement in Australia. Your superannuation is one big investment portfolio in your name that's managed for you by your super fund.
Conservative super funds are designed to protect your superannuation savings. These funds have more money invested in low-risk, defensive assets like cash, fixed interest and bonds and less money invested in shares.
A high growth super fund invests more of your super into growth assets like shares, aiming for higher returns over the long term.
