Rooney said Media Super’s membership has increased by 1,000 a month since July last year when Just Super and Print Super merged. Media Super is classified as a “benefit the members fund”.
   
“It is now even more important to look at your super fund, understand the costs to you and what you are getting out of it,” said Rooney. “In a climate like this you need to know where your super is and what it is doing.”
   
Collins added that “industry funds have more positives because they are run by members for members. We are in the top quartile of super funds. Returns are greater, fees are lower and, most importantly, we know the industry our members work in.”
