Fund ratings agency SuperRatings has launched a web-based information service for the general public to provide a range of research and super fund comparisons.
SuperSavvy’ is designed as a club that will provide members, for an annual fee, with research they could not get elsewhere, according to SuperRatings. The web site will also have a chat room, to be introduced soon. The annual of fee of $80 is being discounted to $39.95 for an introductory offer.
There is one investment area where Insignia’s $180 billion super arm has not lost money for the past 17 years, which is what it calls the insurance-related investments. The alternatives strategy is gaining popularity among asset owners due to its diversification benefit, but Insignia’s super and asset management investment chief Dan Farmer warns it is a space where investors can suffer if they “stumble in without doing the homework”.
