30 June 2011 - United Cash Management options
Effective 30 June 2011, the name displayed for all United Cash Management options within Spectrum Super was streamlined through an investment switch into the United Cash Management Fund Super or Pension option (as appropriate). Although a buy and sell transaction has occurred, this switch had no effect upon the underlying investment, fees or interest generated within member accounts.
10 May 2011 - Federal Budget Update
According to the Treasurer, the Budget is getting ‘back in the black’ in 2012/13 - a reference which did create some disturbing mental images during the Budget speech (imagining the Treasurer playing air guitar to AC/DC). Other than some tax initiatives from the Henry Review (changes to fringe benefits tax (FBT) treatment on cars), the removal of low income tax offset for children, support for families with teenagers and welcome tax concessions for disability income trusts, there wasn’t a huge amount in it for financial services.

6 August 2010 - Welcome to the new-look Spectrum Super web site
You may have noticed some pretty significant changes to the Spectrum Super website. In line with our new branding, we’ve updated the design of our website to make it brighter, bolder and more contemporary.
There are several changes to the navigation but you should find it still has a familiar feel. The names of many menu items remain the same as they were previously. If you previously used the ‘education’ menu item to view our range of education flyers, you’ll find it still exists. Likewise, you’ll find there is still a ‘brochures and forms’ menu item and an ‘investment options’ menu item.
To make it easier to get to the information you use most often, we’ve added a range of quick links on the homepage. For example, you can now jump straight to performance or unit prices directly from a link on the homepage.
One of the most significant changes we’ve made is to divide the site into sections aimed at members, employers and advisers. At this stage, there are only minor differences between the three areas but as we further develop the site, you’ll start to notice more and more audience-specific content.
We hope you like the new design and look forward to releasing further enhancements to ensure that our site continues to meet your needs.
12 May 2010 - Federal Budget Update
We were warned that this would be a no frills Budget and the Treasurer delivered just that - no frills. Other than a modest tax sweetener for interest bearing accounts, there wasn't much in it for superannuation and financial services.
