Super health check

It’s easy to put other needs before your superannuation.  However, it is important to remember to give your super regular check ups, as little changes now can mean a big difference in the amount that you receive when it comes time to retire.

By spending a few minutes completing our HIP Super Health Check, it could make a big difference to the amount you retire with.

1. Do you have more than one account? 

HIP can help by contacting your other Fund and arranging a rollover into your account.  It can save you hundreds of dollars in fees.  Simply complete our rolloverrequest form.

2. Super choice?

Have you changed jobs and your current super is being paid into a different fund?  Don't waste money on two sets of fees for two different funds. Save and consolidate by making HIP your 'Choice' of super fund.

3. Do you know what fees you are paying? 

Does your super provide you with easy to understand, low fees?  HIP does.  View our low cost structure here.

4. Do you know your super’s investment performance? 

In the 2005/2006 financial year HIP’s Growth Option returned 15.9%, which was 1.7% above the industry average. View HIP's long term performance here.

 

5. Are you comfortable with your investment option?

HIP gives you the opportunity to choose one of our ready-made investment options or, you can create your own investment strategy from our three investment options.

6.  Are you making any additional contributions to your super?

It's amazing the effect that additional contributions, either after-tax or salary sacrifice, can have on your final superannuation amount. The trick is to start contributing early and enjoy the rewards of compounding interest on your additional contributions! 

7. Will you have enough super?

Our calculators will allow you to estimate how much your super assets will grow by the time you expect to retire.

8. Would your insurance cover the unexpected?

All HIP members under age 65 automatically receive one unit of Death Insurance and can apply to increase this amount at any time to a maximum of $1 million.  Members are able to insure 75% of their income for up to two years through our cost effective Income Protection Insurance if they are unable to work and have access to optional TPD cover.
