Before combining your super, consider which fund is right for you. Check out the fees and costs of your funds plus any benefits that would be lost, such as insurance cover. Make sure your other fund(s) knows about any contributions you intend to claim a tax deduction for, before combining your super. If you have any questions, speak to a licensed financial adviser or visit the ASIC MoneySmart website for more information.
