Superannuation returns are set to be so strong they will easily make up for losses last financial year, according to new figures from Chant West.

The research house found that the median growth fund, where most Australians invest, saw returns of 1.2 per cent over March, bringing total returns to a healthy 8.1 per cent for the first 10 months of the financial year.
