You should review its performance and you should be looking at strategies to protect your accumulated capital to be certain you’ll have enough money to enjoy your retirement.

It is much better to be self-reliant in retirement and not dependent on the Government. The Government is only interested in governing, not your financial well-being now or into the future.

Superannuation is the most tax effective investment (within limits) that we have in Australia. Superannuation however has consistently had a legislative risk attached to it. The Federal government consistently likes to tinker around the edges. In order to avoid too much exposure to this legislative risk, it is wise to look at all types of strategies.
The power of compounded earnings and time can assist you in accumulating a comfortable amount of Superannuation. Investing in the wrong Super fund is a sure-fire way to have a miserable old-age.
