Many super funds have investment options that do not have enough funds in them to be sustainable.

Superannuation funds need to simplify their investment menus, given that over a third of funds have more than 30 options on offer and many of them are “arguably sub-scale”, a report by one of the world’s largest professional services firms says.

Mercer says the default investment options offered by funds have generally produced “strong member outcomes” and are “sound and of increasingly high quality”.
