Hi, I have a particular question that has me curious and confused.

The global recession has obviously decreased the share prices in the last few quarters. How does the decrease in shares prices decrease the value of superannuation as well? This has been evidenced in Australia with the total estimated superannuation assets decreasing by 7.6% in the Dec 2008 quarter.

This process I don't understand since my understanding is shares and superannuation are interlinked. Cheeers.

A retirement fund is simply an investment portfolio. The aggregate value of any investment portfolio is determined by the values of the individual assets making up the portfolio.

Cheers!
