Enhanced benchmarking for superannuation
Superannuation funds in Australia rely on indices to benchmark their fund’s performance, communicate this to their members, and to assess the performance of their fund managers. Traditionally, superannuation funds have used indices calculated on a pre-tax basis for benchmarking purposes. This can create a misalignment between superannuation funds and their fund managers as some investment decisions are attractive on a pre-tax basis but harm after-tax performance.
As a result, an increasing number of superannuation funds are now measuring their fund managers on an after-tax basis using the FTSE ASFA Australia Index Series.
