Welcome to the 2016 Fat Cat Funds Report
Australians are charged over $23 billion in fees each year by their super and managed funds. It's a lot of money! Problem is most people don't know if their fees are well spent or wasted. That's why Stockspot has been campaigning since 2013 to raise awareness of poor fund performance. We shine a spotlight on the super and managed funds that are under-delivering for customers and celebrate the funds doing a good job.
Key findings

Stockspot's Fat Cat Fund ratings are based solely on statistical criteria relating to a fund's past performance vs their peer group.
We analysed Australian domiciled funds with available data on performance and fees.
Fat Cat Funds warrant special attention because they have consistently underperformed their peers over a period of 5 years.

Stockspot's Fat Cat Fund ratings are based solely on statistical criteria relating to a fund's past performance. We have only considered Australian domiciled superannuation funds and managed funds that have existed for at least 5 years and have made data available on performance and fees. We have categorised funds using their underlying asset allocation, with the grouping of mixed asset funds based on the how much of the fund's portfolio is invested in growth assets (shares and property). Full details of the methodology used and fund categorisation can be found in the report.
