5 Competitive fees We keep fees competitive, so more of your hard-earned savings stay in your account. You may not realise it, but an extra 1% in fees can really eat into super savings over an average lifetime, potentially meaning tens of thousands of dollars less in retirement.^ Plus, we don t pay any commissions to our financial advisers and profits are returned to members so your retirement savings can grow faster. One of Australia s most awarded funds We re proud to be recognised as one of Australia s most awarded super funds. Over the years we ve received a string of awards and high ratings from ratings and research agencies. Chant West awarded UniSuper Super Fund of the Year in both 2015 and 2016 something no other fund has been able to achieve.
