Superannuation is a specialised type of investment designed to help you accumulate a significant level of savings for your retirement.
To encourage you to save for retirement, the rules provide various tax concessions for super investments. For most people, these tax concessions make saving through super more tax-effective than saving outside it, which means their savings may grow faster.

When deciding which investments are right for you, it is important to understand the trade-off between risk and return and how to manage investment risk.
By setting goals, planning ahead and being smart with your savings and debt strategies – you can actively grow your wealth even from a
modest start.
