Financial Standard Comments - Throw out relative performance tables: Finsia The way superannuation funds measure performance should be thrown out and replaced with a system which discourages short-termism and helps consumers think about their retirement pot as an income pool, rather than a pot of gold. https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=43576721 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:24:23 +1000 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:24:23 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by David Lunn (LWP)

I couldn't agree more. What needs to be thought of is the long term goals of the superannuant and how much risk do they: (a) need; (b) can they personally tolerate; (c) can their portfolio bear.

It is fine to be top of the tables, but how much risk should have been taken for the client, how much risk was taken to get these returns are very important questions.
