According to the latest super funds research from Rainmaker, five Prime Super investment options were placed in the top five for risk-adjusted returns, including our MySuper investment option.*

The aim of the RMetrics analysis is to assess investment returns, market volatility and risk to determine how superannuation funds perform against their peers.

The results were derived from a range of measures and ratios, delivering a scorecard which determines an investment option's performance. Funds with steady, positive returns (like Prime Super) across various investment options receive a higher strike-rate percentage and could be considered a top risk-adjusted super fund.

Note: Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
