Save money and more

There is so much upside to finding and combining your super into one account.

  • Save on fees. Paying multiple fees for multiple account can get expensive and fees can slowly erode you balance, especially low account balances. By having one account means only one set of fees to pay.
  • Reduced paperwork. Having one account makes it easier to manage and to track your super going forwards. When you change jobs, you can take your REI Super account with you.
  • Compound interest. The biggest bonus with one account, means more funds in one pot and the power of compounding interest. Compound interest will give a boost to your account savings without you having to do anything.

Compounding interest graph

The graph shows an example how compound interest works with an initial deposit of $50,000 and an annual lump sum contribution of $5,000.  Inflation 2.5% and a return of 6% paid annually. At the end of 10 years you’d have a total of $157,423 in today’s dollars your account.

Remember, investment returns aren't the same every year. Some years they are higher and other years they are lower. When returns frequently go up and down, it is called volatility. Time is your best friend when it comes to investing. The longer you invest, the more time you have to ride out the markets' ups and downs.

Use MoneySmart’s compounding interest tool to see how it would relate to your finances.

  2. Check if there are any fees for leaving other super funds.
  3. Consider getting financial advice to help you compare the benefits and costs of switching funds. Call our helpline for more information: 1300 13 44 33.
