Years of strong long-term performance


The best way to see how a super fund performs is to look at its long-term returns. After all, super is a long game. CareSuper has a track record of strong long-term performance, managed by investment experts who actively adapt to market changes.

Balanced

This option invests in a diversified mix of assets with an emphasis on Australian and overseas shares, property and infrastructure.
If you're a super member, this is the option your money goes into if you don't make an investment choice (it's our MySuper option).

The graph shows the value of an initial investment of $1,000 in this option over time.

    Competitive fees and costs


    Because what you pay matters. CareSuper keeps fees competitive, while delivering strong performance over the long term.1 But the real number to look at is net benefit—that’s performance after fees and taxes.

    Here’s what you can expect to pay in superannuation fees and costs over a year if you have $50,000 invested in our Balanced option.

    Industry vs Retail super funds


    We’re run only to benefit members—no shareholders, no commissions. That’s the Industry SuperFund difference. Retail funds often serve profit. We serve you.

    On average, Industry SuperFunds have out-performed retail super funds over the past five, 10 and 20 years1. This means better value, better returns and more super for you.
