How putting your money into the right one can net Australians an extra $375,000

A panel of industry experts have named their choices for the top 10 standout super funds for Australians.

It comes as the Productivity Commission proposes a list of its kind be made available to workers as part of its review into superannuation.

And choosing the right super fund can net employees an extra $375,000 by the time they retire, the Herald Sun reported.

The list of the top 10 super funds as chosen by industry experts include Australian Super, First State Super, Hesta, Rest and CareSuper.

The super funds were chosen for a variety of individual factors, such as strong returns over a long-term period, solid investment performance and member services. 

The panel of experts included Nerida Cole, managing director of Dixon Advisory, Kirby Rappell, CEO of Super Ratings, Ian Fryer, head of research at Chant West, and Anthony Serhan, research strategy head at Morningstar.
