The Choice Heatmap provides credible, clear and comparable insights into choice investment options across three areas: investment performance, fees and costs, and sustainability of member outcomes. The first Choice Heatmap utilises data provided by SuperRatings. Future Choice Heatmaps will leverage the Super Data Transformation project and utilise the new data collection.
