We take a look at how professionally managed superannuation that invests responsibly is delivering real value for our members.
Let’s start with a few key member benefits
You’re part of a multi award-winning fund. We received SuperRatings’ highest accolade – platinum – for 20 years straight, and Money magazine’s Best Balanced Super Product for 2021.
ProductReview.com.au also awarded us the 2021 Best Superannuation Fund Award for our strong performance, outstanding customer service and transparency about our business practices.
Our long-term investment returns – the ones that count the most – are super strong. In fact, our Balanced Growth option has outperformed its long-term objective since its inception in 1987 with an average annualised return of 8.50% p.a.*. Right now, you have access to a global portfolio of assets overseen by professional managers.
And you can create your own strategy or tap into ready-made options designed by our expert team – including the new, low-cost Indexed Balanced Growth option.
*Return calculated for the period 1 August 1987 to 30 June 2020. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Investments may go up or down. The returns shown are net of investment fees, indirect costs and taxes.

Responsible investors
We recognise that investing responsibly - for people and the planet - is important to an investment’s long-term value.
We’re committed to creating better futures for our members. One of the ways we do this is through being a responsible investor and thinking long term, including thinking of future generations. This approach allows us to positively impact the broader economy, society and environment.
Why do we invest responsibly?
We believe that strong institutions are critical for protecting people and the planet. So, when making investment decisions we also consider strong and diverse boards, fair remuneration, business ethics, transparency and fair payment of tax.
Considering both the positive and negative impacts of our investments on the planet and people is important. This is because they can affect the value of an individual investment, whether it's a company, property, infrastructure asset or another type of investment. And that can affect long-term returns to members.
By taking this approach, we’ve been able to help grow our members’ super at the same time as having impact on our communities.
