Overview of Australia’s superannuation system
What is the Australian superannuation system?
Many countries have retirement pension schemes that are supported by government incentives, monitored by government authorities, and provided with taxation benefits. Australia’s system is called superannuation.
The Australian superannuation system is a tax effective means of putting aside money during your working life for use in retirement.
A superannuation fund is a vehicle that holds investments. A superannuation fund is not an asset class in itself. It is a structure or framework that holds investment assets for its members.
