The financial system inquiry concluded that Australian superannuation fees are too high, costing members about $A20bn a year. Inquiry chairman David Murray has told a conference of the need for increased competition in the sector in order to reduce fees, while Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has flagged possible changes to the default super fund regime to boost competition. However, industry and retail super fund executives disagree on whether such reforms will result in lower fees.
