Management fees eat into super fund returns SUPPOSE in March 1982 you decided to invest $100,000 in the ASX All Ordinaries Index. Based on the Australian consumer price index, this would be equivalent to about $331,000 in 2013, a fairly typical amount that many superannuants and retirees would have invested in the Australian sharemarket. By March 2013, that is 31 years after the initial investment was made, the $100,000 investment would be worth $1.074 million, assuming any dividends paid haven't been reinvested.
