We are focused on keeping fees low to help you maximise your retirement savings.
This page provides an overview of the ongoing fees and costs that you could pay as a Vision Super member of some of our most popular products in Vision Super.
The fees and costs you pay depend on:
whether you hold an accumulation (super) account or pension account, and
the investment option(s) your account is invested in.
A fee cap of 3% (prescribed by law) in relation to administration and investment fees and costs applies if your account balance is less than $6,000 at 30 June or when you close your account. Any amount charged in excess of this cap must be refunded.
For detailed information regarding our fees and costs, please please refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement or Guide applicable to your membership of the Fund.
Other fees and costs may apply including insurance fees. The impact of the annual ongoing fees and costs of a product is illustrated in the fee examples shown below.
