LGsuper has received Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) approval to offer a default superannuation product when MySuper is implemented next year.

MySuper products will roll out mid-year; however, the fund will launch its new default option on 1 January 2014.

LGsuper said strong governance and cost-effectiveness were hallmarks of its approval.

"We're committed to delivering strong investment returns and a simple fee structure so you enjoy excellent value and more money in retirement," it said.

The fund said MySuper was simply an extension of its strategy.

"LGsuper's successful application for a MySuper licence highlights APRA's confidence in our fund's ability to offer a value-for-money default product for members," it said.

"It also means our employers are assured they can meet the Government's requirements to make contributions into a MySuper product."
