Industry fund moves into financial advice


Queensland industry fund QSuper has moved its financial advice offer online, with the launch of an online financial advice tool.
The fund has launched Online Advice, an automated financial advice tool that lets members review their financial plans and retirement goals.
It has also launched Money Map, which collates members' financial information such as savings, mortgage and credit cards into an online dashboard.
QSuper chief executive, Rosemary Vilgan, said that with nearly 30 per cent of Australians finding dealing with money stressful, the Money Map and Online Advice is a shift from one-size-fits-all to a personalised approach.
"QSuper wants to become the financial partner of each member so we have launched these tools to help them make better, more informed decisions," Vilgan said.
Online Advice will also have a click-to-implement feature in the near future, Vilgan said.
