221  Consumer advisory warning

DID YOU KNOW?
Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long term returns.
For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your account balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30 year period
(for example, reduce it from $100 000 to $80 000).
You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs.
Your employer may be able to negotiate to pay lower administration fees. Ask the fund or your financial adviser.

If you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website (www.moneysmart.gov.au) has a [superannuation or managed investment fee] calculator to help you check out different fee options.
