Consolidating later (when it might make sense)

A few leftover pots can become one later. No rush. Timing matters.
Two Super accounts from two jobs is common. It’s not a mess. It’s a paper trail.
Why people roll them together
One login. One fee line instead of two. Easier to see the pile. That’s the upside.
Why you might wait
- Insurance in the old fund might drop off if you close it.
- Exit or buy/sell spreads, not always, but look before you tap “consolidate.”
- You’re not sure which fund you even want yet.
A mate’s favourite fund is a data point, not a plan. If you do move, do it because the fees, insurance, and admin fit you, not because of a vibe on the weekend.
ATO’s Super tools and your fund’s own guide beat a random reel. This page is education, not a switch instruction. The step-through: How do I even consolidate my Super?.
