Get Super Savvy | What is super & where is mine?

HOSTS Maddy Guest & Sophie Dicker|7 August, 2021

Sponsored by Superhero

So you might be thinking, we’re an investing podcast, why are you talking about super? But super is invested. So if you have a job, and you’re earning money, you are investing in the stockmarket. In this episode, Sophie and Maddy take a tour of how the current system functions, talk about some of the main issues with the current superannuation system, look at what the recent government changes mean (particularly for young Australians), and have a look at the different options you can take with your super. And, we hear some of your thoughts about the super industry.

This episode was brought to you by Superhero Super

1 in 3 under 45 rarely or never check their superannuation, even though for many of us it will be the largest asset we will have outside of our own home. This is a statistic that Superhero is determined to change.

Superhero Super offers customers the ability to choose how their super is invested, without the need for an SMSF. With Superhero, you can invest up to 75% of your super directly in ASX 300 shares and ETFs. Are you passionate about climate change and renewable energy? Cloud computing, battery technology or Ecommerce?

For those who want control and transparency over their superannuation, Superhero allows you to create your portfolio in the palm of your hand and manage your investments alongside your regular investing portfolio.

  • Maddy Guest

    Maddy Guest

    Maddy lives in Melbourne, works in finance, but had no idea about investing until she started recently. Her favourite things to do are watching the Hawks play on weekends, reading books, and she says she's happiest, 'when eating pasta with a glass of wine'. Maddy began her investing journey when she started earning a full time income and found myself reading about the benefits of compound interest in the Barefoot Investor. Her mind was blown, and she started just before the pandemic crash in 2020. What's her investing goal? To be financially independent for the rest of her life, and make decisions without being overly stressed about money.

    Sophie Dicker

    Sophie lives in Melbourne, and enjoys playing sport, and then drinking red wine immediately after finishing sport. She works in finance, but honestly had no idea about investing until her partner encouraged her to start. She says, 'my interest has only taken off from there - I find it exciting… I mean who doesn’t like watching their money grow?' Her investing goal is to build the freedom to do things that she's passionate about - whether it be start a business, donate to causes close to her, or to take time out of the workforce to start a family. Right now, there’s no specific goal, she just wants to have the freedom when she'll need it.
