Industry Or Retail Superannuation Funds?

Industry SuperFunds

Industry SuperFunds were first established in the 1980s to protect Australian workers’ super from the high fee and commission products that were then common in the retail superannuation market.
Industry SuperFunds are run only to profit members and don't pay profits or dividends to shareholders.
They are governed by trustee boards including both employer and employee organisation representatives.
Industry SuperFunds aim to provide above average investment returns to members, while keeping management fees as low as possible.
Industry SuperFunds are committed to quality long-term infrastructure and building investments in Australia because they benefit our members through broader economic growth as well as healthy investment returns.

These are just some of the factors that have led to Industry SuperFunds outperforming retail funds over the last five, ten and 15 years*.

*Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and should never be the sole factor considered when selecting a fund. Comparisons modelled by SuperRatings, commissioned by ISA, and shows average differences in net benefit of the 'main Balanced option' of 7 Industry SuperFunds and retail funds tracked by SuperRatings, over a 5, 10 and 15 year period . A 'main Balanced option' being the fund's largest Balanced option where 60% to 76% of the fund's assets are invested in growth investments. This is generally the fund's default option. Where a fund does not have a Balanced option, the option closest to SuperRatings’ benchmark range of 60% to 76% growth investments is used. Outcomes vary between individual funds.
