Media Super's pension account has been awarded a Platinum rating by SuperRatings for 2009. The Platinum pension rating joins our other top-tier ratings for 2009 - Platinum employer-sponsored super and Gold personal account super.

The Platinum rating is recognition of the excellent value for money, investment performance and governance of our pension products. Media Super pension members enjoy low fees, above industry-average investment performance and extra member benefits.

Of more than 130 pension funds reviewed, only 25% are awarded a Platinum rating, says SuperRatings. Platinum-rated funds display the "best value for money" across key assessment criteria, including investment returns, investment methodology, fees, insurance, administration and member education, the ratings agency says.

SuperRatings is an independent research centre that rates Australia's superannuation funds, providing independent information on fund services and expert industry analysis and commentary to consumers and the Australian media.
