After the family home, superannuation is likely to be the second biggest asset you accumulate. It's an investment designed to grow over your working life, to provide money for your retirement.
The money you invest in your superannuation is generally taxed more lightly than other forms of investment, as long as you provide your superannuation fund with your Tax File Number (TFN).
