Be with the best super fund

Know why it’s important to choose the best in super. We've consistently delivered top, long-term performance for members, ranking in the top 2 over 7, 10 and 20 years based on the Balanced option1. It’s just one of the reasons why over 1,200 people choose AustralianSuper every day2.

A proudly member-first fund

As an industry super fund, we don’t pay dividends or profits to shareholders so the money we make goes back into the fund for the benefit of members. We choose to focus on providing strong, long term performance to benefit members, because we believe they’re the fund’s greatest investment.

Strong, long-term performance

When you’re choosing a super fund, it’s important to look at the fund’s long-term performance history and not just how it’s performing today. We're one of the top 2 performing super funds over 7, 10 and 20 years based on the Balanced option1.

The graph above shows how the Balanced option outperformed the median fund in the SuperRatings survey by 1.33%. When you’re looking at performance, it’s essential to look at the net benefit – this is what is left in your super after administration, investment and transaction fees and costs have been deducted.
