SuperRatings Net benefit award 2025

When you’re choosing a super fund, one way to figure out how well a fund is performing is to look at the ‘net benefit’.

What is the net benefit? The net benefit is your investment earnings, after any fees and taxes have been taken out.

We were awarded the SuperRatings Net Benefit award in 2025 (and in 2024), which recognises HESTA as the Australian super fund with the best net benefit outcomes delivered to members over the short and long term.1
