   I was wondering if there was an Australian super company that invests in solely in the Australian property market ( not a SMF ) ?

     Hi Tania, not that I know of. I expect that such an investment strategy would be considered too high risk due to lack of diversity. However, in some funds you may have the ability to choose an investment option that consists solely of Australian listed property – but make sure you understand listed property, the risks, etc.

   Oh, is this list current? The post says it went live 1 January 2017 but the comments are from Feb and March 2016 so I’m confused!

     Hi Jenny, I recently updated some links to the list of superannuation companies and it must have updated the post date at the same time. If you are after a current up to date list, you can always refer to http://superfundlookup.gov.au/download.aspx

     Hi Kelly, I have never been involved with someone wanting to transfer NZ super to Aus. If I were you I would first contact kiwisaver and see if they allow for your funds to be trnasferred to Aus. If so, contact maybe an industry fund https://www.industrysuper.com/ and ask if they accept transfers from kiwi saver. You could even contact a financial planner and ask them. Be careful of potential tax consequences of transferring retirement savings to another country.

     You could try contacting whoever was your employer at that time to see if they had any more details on the fund, assuming your employer was paying contributions into your account. Otherwise maybe contact the specific ATO lost super department on 13 10 20 and tell them you cannot locate the fund. See here for more info https://superfundlookup.gov.au/FAQ/About

     Hi Dipendra,
     SGC super on a payslip refers to the amount of super your employer is paying into your super account. This is a compulsory amount that your employer must pay into your account.
     If you are receiving SGC payments, it is likely you already have a super account.
     Simply ask your employer where they are paying it to.
     You can contact almost any super account and set up a super fund if you would like to change super funds, then notify your employer of your new fund. Check first with your employer that you are able to nominate your choice of super fund.
