10 things you already knew about Super…… but just didn’t realise how important they were
What we know - Superannuation funds have different characteristics Many of these differences are aesthetic or insignificant. But superannuation is an
industry rather than a market.
Therefore some of these internal fund differences turn out to be very important. The important differences can be thought of in 3 dimensions: 1. Governance and business models 2. Distribution 3. Performance
Differences in these areas mean that people in different funds will have very different retirement outcomes.

What we didn’t know
Members of Not For Profit Representative Trustee funds will save much more and be able to retire much earlier than members of For Profit Appointed Trustee funds.
You may be surprised to learn just how much difference in time and money we are talking about
(hint its big).

1. Fund Governance & Business Models*
*Source for governance data: APRA 2008
![Page 5: Time is Money….and Money is Time Dr Mike Rafferty.pdf · Chris Angus, Nigel Douglas, Mike Rafferty . 10 things you already knew about Super… … but just didn’t realise how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030510/5aba71827f8b9a76038b816e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Two basic superannuation fund types: 1. Derived from the old insurance industry business model
- Vertically integrated financial firms - For Profit - Sales/Advice product distribution driven distribution - Appointed Trustees
2. Derived from industrial agreements
- Free standing fund, contracts out most services - Co-operative/Not for profit - Industrial Agreement and award-based - Representative Trustees
These two fund types behave differently in important ways
![Page 6: Time is Money….and Money is Time Dr Mike Rafferty.pdf · Chris Angus, Nigel Douglas, Mike Rafferty . 10 things you already knew about Super… … but just didn’t realise how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030510/5aba71827f8b9a76038b816e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Key Governance differences - Representative NFP Trustees have:
1. more diverse backgrounds 2. much less likely to be employed by the fund or a service provider 3. hold fewer additional directorships 4. spend more time on individual board matters 5. have fewer direct relationships to the fund or related service
providers 6. direct fewer service contracts with parent or closely related
providers 7. invest more of their retirement savings in the fund they are a board
member

2. Fund Distribution Methods*
*Source for governance data: Rainmaker Information and APRA 2008
![Page 16: Time is Money….and Money is Time Dr Mike Rafferty.pdf · Chris Angus, Nigel Douglas, Mike Rafferty . 10 things you already knew about Super… … but just didn’t realise how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030510/5aba71827f8b9a76038b816e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Distribution models
Retail Funds currently anchored in the old insurance distribution (sales/advice) product distribution model - Currently own 72% of the advice industry
Industry funds remain anchored in the industrial award and agreement benefit management system - Not-for-profit super fund owned adviser groups account for 2% of the industry Source: Rainmaker 2014

A couple more things you already knew:
For profit (FP) or retail funds tend to be part of large vertically integrated financial conglomerates, and as a consequence:
8. NFP Representative funds are lower cost than FP (Retail) funds
9. NFP Representative funds have consistently outperformed FP funds in returns to members
![Page 19: Time is Money….and Money is Time Dr Mike Rafferty.pdf · Chris Angus, Nigel Douglas, Mike Rafferty . 10 things you already knew about Super… … but just didn’t realise how](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030510/5aba71827f8b9a76038b816e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

One last thing you already knew:
10. Better performance by NFP funds means more retirement savings for members
But …these differences are much larger than we have
generally understood (e.g. ‘ISNs compare the pair’ Mk I or II)
These differences are very costly in terms of foregone savings
They are also very costly in terms of extra time required to save for retirement
