Default fund selection

What is a default fund?
A default fund is the fund where contributions will be paid if your employee doesn’t make a choice. Under the legislation, you must nominate a default fund on the standard choice form you provide to your employees.
 
The default fund you nominate must:
  • be a compliant super fund; and
  • offer a 'minimum' level of insurance cover for death

How do I choose a default fund?
As an employer, you should consider the following when selecting your default fund:
  • Does the fund provide me with simple and efficient admistration solutions?
  • Is the fund reputable and appropriate for my employees?
 
Making contributions and enrolling and terminating employees to multiple funds can increase your workload. An ideal default fund can ease your workload on these administrative tasks by providing a clearing house solution.
