Competitive fees
How much you pay, will depend on how you are invested. Optus Super Plan members pay:
- 0.14% pa administration fee on the first $500,000 in their account,
- $1.83 monthly member fee,
- Paid from super fund’s assets: An administration fee of 0.032% pa, plus a trustee expense recovery of up to 0.025% pa. These fees are not deducted from your account or from your investment. These fees are variable and may be more or less than the estimated amount shown.
- 0.00% to 1.71% pa investment fees and costs and 0.00% to 0.26% pa transaction costs. Please refer to the Investment Guide for the investment fees and costs and transaction costs for your specific investment option(s).
The lower % administration fee and $ monthly member fee negotiated by your employer will stop when you leave your employer. Additional member activity related fees may apply, such as transaction cost allowance, advice fees for personal advice, or insurance fees. Refer to your welcome letter in conjunction with the fees and costs section in the product disclosure statement and member guide for more information.
How much could a reduction in fees save you?
Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long-term returns. For example, paying 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).
How your fees might look
AMP MySuper
AMP MySuper is the default investment option for AMP Optus Super. It takes a lifestages approach, automatically applying different levels of risk to your investments, dependent on your age.
To demonstrate we’ve used the AMP MySuper Lifestages 1970s option in the fee table below. This is based on fees and costs paid by Optus Super Plan members.
If you were born in another decade and want to check those investment fees and costs and transaction costs, you’ll find them in the Investment Guide or PDS.
| AMP MySuper Lifestages 1970s option | Balance of $50,000 | |
| Administration fees and costs | 0.14% pa + $21.96 pa ($1.83 per month) + 0.025% pa + 0.032% pa | For every $50,000 of your balance up to $500,000, you will be charged $60 pa in administration fees. Plus, you will be charged $21.96 pa regardless of your balance. Plus a trustee expense recovery and additonal portion of the admin fee are paid from super fund's assets, which for a $50,000 balance equals to $12.50 and $16 respectively. This is not deducted from your account. |
| Plus, Investment fees and costs |
0.54% | And, you will be charged or have deducted from your investment $270 pa in investment fees and costs. |
| Plus, Transaction costs | 0.07% | And, you will be charged or have deducted from your investment $35 pa in transaction costs. |
