What is the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (APRA)? 

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) was established 25 years ago as an independent statutory authority that supervises institutions across banking, insurance and superannuation, and is accountable to the Australian Parliament. It is part of the Australian Government.

Why is this report important?

Superannuation is often the second largest asset held by Australians. Therefore Australian super performance has a large impact on the financial well being of Australians and their ability to accumulate wealth and have a comfortable retirement. It also identifies the top 10 worst performing super funds and poor performing super funds.

If your superannuation is with one of the worst performing super funds or even a poorly performing super fund, this can have a significant impact on your financial future and ability to have a comfortable retirement. The impact of poor performance due to the compounding differences in returns between super funds makes a significant difference over time.
