Fees & costs

As a fully independent, profit-to-members super fund, our fees are competitive; designed to meet the cost of fund operations, and not to maximise profit.

What are our fees?

Our fees can be divided into four main categories:

  • Administration fees and costs: used to run your super account.
  • Investment fees and costs: used for the professional management of the investments that make up your super.
  • Transaction costs: costs associated with the sale and purchase of assets other than buy-sell spreads.
  • Other fees and costs: other fees like government taxes and charges, operational risk reserve, transactional and operational costs, etc.

1 If your account balance for a product offered by Prime Super is less than $6,000 at the end of the financial year, certain fees and costs charged to you in relation to administration and investment are capped at 3% of the account balance. Any amount charged in excess of that cap must be refunded.
