Asset Super

Making Contributions

For some Australians, super may be the best and safest way to accumulate money for retirement. It's tax-effective and it may help to manage any undue risk.

How your account works

Your Asset Super account balance is made up as follows:

	Contributions from you, your employer, your spouse or the Government
	Transfers or rollovers from other super funds
	Investment earnings (allocated net of investment related charges and member protection costs)
	Administration fees
	Contributions tax
	Insurance charges (if you have insurance cover in the fund)

So what can you do to get your super growing faster?

Here are 6 simple ideas you may be able to use.

1. Let the Government contribute on your behalf via co-contributions
2. Combine all you super in your Asset account
3. Voluntary contributions from your take home pay
4. Salary sacrifice (voluntary contributions from your pre-tax pay)
5. Spouse contributions
6. Split contributions with your spouse
