Who we are

We’re Australia's largest superannuation fund - and the fastest growing of the world’s top 20 pension funds.

A driven global investor

With more than A$385 billion in assets under management (as at 30 June 2025), we’re Australia’s largest superannuation fund1.

We're also the 17th largest pension fund in the world (and the fastest growing of the top 20), as well as the 32nd largest asset owner in the world.2

Our purpose

We’re a profit-for-member superannuation fund that actively invests the retirement savings of more than 3.5 million members3.

Our purpose is to help members achieve their best financial position in retirement.

Members are the core of everything we do – and this underscores our absolute focus on driving investment returns for members.

Large and growing capital base

With substantial net cash inflows per annum, AustralianSuper is growing at a rapid rate.

Over the past 10 years to 30 June 2025, our assets under management have grown at a 16% p.a. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) and are forecast to reach A$600 billion in 2030.



Underpinned by Australia’s compulsory superannuation (retirement savings) sector, our net cash inflows are driven by:

  • compulsory and voluntary superannuation contributions from existing members,
  • investment performance and
  • growth in new members.

We’ve been investing for members for 40 years

AustralianSuper has been investing for members since August 1985. Our Balanced option (for accumulation), where most members are invested, has delivered average annualised returns of:

  • 7.94% p.a. over the last 10 years,
  • 8.69% p.a. over the last 15 years, and
  • 9.27% p.a. since inception to 30 June 2025.5

We’re the largest participant in Australia’s growing superannuation sector

With the largest assets under management and most number of members, we’re the largest participant in Australia's A$4.3 trillion superannuation sector, which is expected to exceed A$6.1 trillion by 20356.

Largest number of members

With more than 3.5 million members, we have more members than any other superannuation fund1 and manage the retirement savings of more than 1 in 7 working Australians7.

Most trusted super brand

We’ve been voted the most trusted superannuation brand for 13 years running8.

Largest assets under management

We're also the largest superannuation fund by member assets, with more than A$385 billion in assets under management.

On-the-ground presence in key markets

We were the first Australian superannuation fund to open an international office. In 2012, we opened a research office in Beijing, followed by our London office in 2016 and our New York office in 2021.

This has allowed us to tap into talent pools in these markets and build greater capacity to do global deals and manage them locally.

Why partner with AustralianSuper

We seek to partner with high-quality, like-minded investors and have a strong appetite for direct and co-investment opportunities.

Substantial and recurring cash inflows to invest

We have a large and growing pool of capital — underpinned by Australia’s 12% compulsory minimum employer contributions to superannuation.

Assets under management are forecast to exceed A$600 billion in 2030.

Driven investor with a clear purpose

While superannuation is compulsory in Australia, members can choose their own fund. Our purpose, to help members achieve their best financial position in retirement, further underscores our absolute focus on driving investment returns.
