In the context of super, a switch refers to the process of changing your investment options. When you switch your investment options, we sell units in one investment option and use the proceeds to purchase units in another investment option that you have specified.

When switching, it’s important to let us know whether the change will apply to:

• Your current Mercer Super account balance
• Your investment strategy for future contributions, or
• Both of the above

It’s important that you carefully consider your investment options before making any switches to ensure they’re suitable for your specific needs, financial goals and risk tolerance.

You can find the compliance letter in our Choice of Fund forms. The letter contains important information, such as ABN and USI numbers, and other details you'll require. The online form is available here.

You can access information about fees you have paid on your Annual Statement and within the member portal.

Members can submit their Tax File Numbers (TFN) as part of the sign-up process when creating an account. Alternatively, you can provide your TFN by calling our Helpline team, or via the member portal.
