But here's where it gets controversial... Who ultimately pays when a superannuation fund, like Cbus, mismanages death benefit payouts? Is it the members themselves, through reduced returns or increased fees? Or does the responsibility lie elsewhere? And this is the part most people miss... The ripple effects of such failures can extend far beyond the immediate beneficiaries, impacting the entire financial system.
