*The results compare TelstraSuper’s Balanced option with the median of the balanced options of funds tracked by SuperRatings (253 funds) in respect of the net benefit. The results also compare TelstraSuper’s Balanced option with the median Master Trust Retail super funds tracked by SuperRatings (123 funds) in respect of net benefit that have a comparable balanced option to the TelstraSuper Balanced option. Comparisons are made over a 10 year performance history, taking into account historical earnings and fees – excluding contribution, entry, exit, insurance and additional adviser fees that may have been charged over that period.
