Australian Retirement Trust is one of Australia's largest super funds, formed through the merger of Sunsuper and QSuper. As an industry fund, we work for members, not shareholders, and are committed to returning profits to them as lower fees and better services.
Whether our members are just starting out their working life, already retired, or somewhere in between, we'll guide them to help make sure they feel secure and confident. We'll use our size and scale to be a force for good to make our members' world better, working with the community and seeking out investments to grow their savings and retirement income.
With 2.4 million members, we're one of Australia's largest super funds.
As an industry super fund for all Australians, we can give back profits to members as lower fees and better value products and services. And when comparing super fund fees, lower fees mean more savings you could have in retirement.
