Super performance
Find out how your super is performing
Media Super publishes daily, monthly and financial year to date investment performance to help our members understand how their super savings are growing.
When you're looking at investment performance, it's important to remember that superannuation is a long-term investment.
Financial markets can move up and down over shorter timeframes. You need to consider the longer term performance of an option over five to 10 years or more, not just the last month or one year.
