Australia’s retirement income system is in the midst of a perfect storm for reform. This site aims to keep you informed about the changes and issues impacting Australia’s superannuation system, and how Mercer is contributing to the ongoing debate.

 

Mercer’s Superannuation Sentiment Index Study

 

In our most recent iteration of the Mercer Superannuation Sentiment Index, we found the level of trust working Australians place in their superannuation funds has declined.

 

In December 2008, 52% rated fund trustworthiness as 'very good' or 'excellent', but this dropped to 44% in June 2009, posing a challenge for superannuation funds to rebuild trust in these challenging times.

 

The findings are a clear call to action for the superannuation industry to think outside the square to steer Australians on the right path to a comfortable retirement.

 


 

In our report, Securing Retirement Incomes, we address many of the risks and opportunities in the current system and look at how it could, and possibly should, look like in a post-Henry and post-Cooper environment.
