Wow talk about unbalanced research. Yes if the fees were lower then they could earn more, but investing outside of superannuation still attracts fees and typically has a higher tax consequences. I dont know of any investments that you can make without incurring fees and charges. Even cash has a hidden fee in that the bank can loan the money at higher rates than they pay depositors. If the SG contributions do not increase are employees going to magically save additional money for retirement, even if this is outside of super?
