Financial Standard Comments - Retail super fund commissions revealed Retail super fund members paid almost $3 billion in commissions during 2010, according to new Rainmaker research. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=12316100 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 14:07:16 +1000 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 14:07:16 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Brett Walker () Given the lack of reliable or consistent definitions of terms like "commission", "fee" and "service" it would be worthwhile publishing the research in whole so it can be scrutinised, not just employed by ISN for its own political/commercial gain. Otherwise the claims made by Mr Whitely are all a bit "par for the course" and likely to be ignored. Will Rainmaker or ISN permit others to review the research?

Let's get clear on the word "commssion" in financial planning. It often is the only way our fees incurred are paid.
