Better news on super returns in March
Australian superannuation fund returns may finally start to recoup some of the serious losses incurred over the past 12 months, according to the latest data released by Sydney-based ratings house Super Ratings.
The new data pointed to another negative month of returns in February (down 3.66 per cent) but suggested that some of this was likely to be recouped in March due to a sharp rally in both Australian and international share markets.
It said balanced fund options might recoup as much as 4 per cent in March, which, if it happened, would effectively offset the losses of both January and February.
However, the ratings house said notwithstanding the better prospects in March, Australian super funds balanced options were still set to deliver a second successive year of negative returns and that these negative returns would most likely be in double digits.
