2 Great Super Shift: Why $4.3 Billion Fled Industry Funds For decades, industry super funds were the “default” for many Australians. But 2025 saw a massive shift. New data from APRA reveals a record $4.3 billion exodus from industry funds as members with higher balances sought better service and more control. Where is the money going? Much of it is flowing into sophisticated retail wrap platforms which saw a $3 billion surge in the same period. At SK Financial Group, we leverage these very platforms to provide our clients with a distinct financial advantage. Why the sudden move? As Australians approach retirement, their financial lives become more complex. The “one-size-fits-all” approach of large industry funds is often failing to keep up. • Service over Price: In retirement, being able to get a straight answer is more important than a slightly lower fee. High-balance members are finding industry funds less responsive to their specific questions. • Decumulation vs Accumulation: Industry funds are great at growing a balance, but many lack the flexible products needed when it’s time to start spending that money in retirement. • The SK Advantage: While industry funds only see your super balance, our holistic approach looks at your entire financial landscape. We utilise the latest advanced platforms and provide you with a clear, consolidated view of your whole financial world in one place. Take Back Control You’ve worked hard for your super; your fund should work just as hard for you. At SK Financial Group, we offer personalised, professional financial advice with access to the latest flexible platforms.
