Listen "How to Evaluate Your Super Fund — A Real Example"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the Runway to Retirement Podcast, Episode 14.
In this second part of his superannuation series, Rob McGregor continues unpacking how to evaluate whether you’re in the right super fund, this time using a real-world example. Rob walks through his step-by-step LEADER framework (List, Evaluate, Analyse, Decide, Execute, Review) and applies it to a detailed case study comparing QSuper to a low-cost index alternative.
He explains what to look for in performance, fees, transparency, and communication, and why even small differences in returns can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime. You’ll also hear why some big industry funds have become less efficient as they’ve grown, what hidden risks to watch out for, and how to identify funds that are truly focused, intentional, and targeted to your goals.
It’s a practical, eye-opening episode that shows how a bit of analysis can turn “average” super into something far more powerful for your retirement.
Each Week Runway to Retirement will be exploring what it means for your journey toward a secure and enjoyable retirement. Whether you’re just starting to plan or already on your way, we’re here to share insights and perspectives to help you feel more confident about your future.
