A Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia) survey has found that 3.2 per cent of superannuation products (or more than $A35bn) were switched annually in the three years to November 2015. The survey also shows that 26.9 per cent of those switching their superannuation got advice from a financial planner or advisor, 18.2 per cent received advice from their employer and 11.8 per cent were advised by a friend or family. However, 31 per cent of those switching funds did not receive any advice. Meanwhile, 37.2 per cent of those switching to an industry fund did not get any advice, while 42 per cent of those switching to a retail fund received advice from a professional advisor.
