Each year, the best funds in the superannuation industry come together for the SuperRatings ‘Fund of the Year’ awards. It’s an opportunity for funds that have delivered an exceptional product and service offering to be recognised for their achievements – and in turn, for members to see how their super fund stacks up against the competition.

We’re pleased to say that CareSuper was part of the small group of high-achievers who took home awards at the event last week, receiving both the ‘Best Growth Return 2012–2017’ award and the prestigious ‘MySuper of the Year’ award for 2018.

How is the award a win for members?

The ‘MySuper of the Year’ win highlights CareSuper’s commitment to producing a quality, streamlined super product backed by a proven investment strategy – CareSuper’s MySuper (or Balanced) option.

CareSuper’s MySuper (Balanced) option aims to effectively meet the needs of most members for the long-term. And the proof is in the pudding. Comparisons between the average net benefit of surveyed retails funds and CareSuper show that CareSuper’s Balanced option added $26,000 more to its members’ accounts over a 10-year period, based on modelling by SuperRatings.*

Backed by industry experts

SuperRatings, which is an independent researcher and ratings agency, assesses hundreds of super products offered by publicly available funds in Australia for the annual awards. To be shortlisted, CareSuper had to demonstrate performance against a range of criteria including investments, fees, administration, member servicing, insurance and governance. As the winner, CareSuper was judged as having the ‘best value for money default offering’.

A privilege to be recognised

CareSuper CEO, Julie Lander, said the team felt honoured by the win. ‘We work hard to deliver an exceptional product that provides a strong, long-term net benefit to members. Winning this award gives us confidence that we’re on the right track.

And of course, we do so much more than this to add value to our members. Whether it’s through insurance, education or communications to help them take control of their finances to deliver a better lifestyle, we always strive to deliver a super option that suits members’ needs and offers value for money,’ she said

‘It is a privilege to be able to make a positive difference to people’s lives – and it’s a responsibility we take seriously.’
