The Long Game
Your super is
working.
But for whom?
A plain-English checklist for Australians who want to understand their superannuation.
Most Australians have superannuation. Most have never checked what option they're in, what they're paying in fees, or what they're actually on track to retire with.
This checklist takes 20 minutes. Five sections. All you need is your fund's online portal.
What's inside — Five sections
Who put this together
I'm John Pontikas — a licensed market adviser with 26 years of financial markets experience. My career began in the 1990s, led to institutional practice at ABN AMRO Morgans, and in 2011 I founded my own boutique advisory firm. I've traded ASX stocks, futures, currencies, commodities, and options across multiple market cycles.
I built The Long Game because most Australians want to understand their superannuation but have never had a clear, simple way to do it. This checklist is where that changes.

"The Long Game gave me the confidence to get into the market and start my investment journey. I wish I'd had this information earlier."

"I thought I was across my super. I had merged three funds and been actively monitoring things for years. But this checklist completely changed the way I think about my wealth. It exposed blind spots I did not know I had. The insurance section alone was an eye-opener. I have already changed my investment strategy and I am pushing my provider for a better deal on fees. If you have super, run it through this checklist."

The Long Game — the full course
The checklist is the starting point. The course is where it becomes a system.
The Long Game is a ten-module course built for everyday Australians who want to take control of their financial future without needing to become a full-time investor. It covers superannuation optimisation, passive investing through low-cost ETFs, and how to build a long-term wealth framework that requires no more than 15 minutes a month to maintain.
No jargon. No trading. No daily attention required. Just a documented, structured process — the same standard JP applies to everything he builds.
