    Super funds weather market volatility amid global tensions
    Mar 8 2026
    Australian superannuation funds have experienced significant market volatility, with the ASX posting its worst performance since 2022 and approximately $140 billion wiped from the market.

Members approaching or in retirement are encouraged to review their investment strategies, consider their timeline for accessing funds, and seek professional advice rather than making reactive decisions during market downturns.
