A broad range of topics
Specially curated for Young Alumni by UniSuper Experts

Ever gone through a checkout and experienced that dreaded niggling doubt? Do I have enough moneyin my account?

Or have you received a letter from your superannuation company, getting to the end and having no idea what you just read? 

Guess what... You're not alone AND it's nothing to be ashamed of!

The good news is, UWA Young Alumni have teamed up with the University Club and the financial wizards at UniSuper to put together this awesome Winter Wealth Event series to help YOU. With everything from how to budget and save, what type of investments you can realistically make to all things SUPERannuation. 

Attend one, two or all three events and we'll have you performing acts of personal financial wizardry in no time. 

As an added benefit these events offer a fantastic opportunity to get together and network with your fellow young alumni, you never know where a new connection or conversation may take you!
