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.
Balanced investment option

Balanced option outperformed the median fund in the SuperRatings survey for super (+1.29%) and the account based pension product Choice Income (+1.38%) over 10 years to 31 December 2022.
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.
