Notes

"Private" schemes are schemes set up by individuals for themselves and their immediate family. "Employer (1)" schemes are schemes sponsored by private sector employers and all NPF employer sponsored schemes. "Employer (2)" schemes provide superannuation arrangements as alternatives to the Government Superannuation Fund, which are sponsored by public sector employers and approved under section 84C of the State Sector Act 1988. (Employer (1) and Retail statistics also include an unknown number of public sector employees who receive an employer subsidy). "Retail" schemes are schemes where membership is made available to the general public. "Investment Only schemes" (referred to as Master Schemes in previous years) are schemes whose members are trustees of other registered superannuation schemes.
The data has been obtained from annual reports made by the trustees of superannuation schemes "registered" under the Superannuation Schemes Act 1989 to the members and beneficiaries of those schemes.
Some totals may not add exactly, due to rounding.
