Super helpful long-term returns
Strong returns help grow your super. We delivered healthy returns of 9.58% p.a.[P1] for the 10 years to 30 September 2025, with double-digit returns of 11.68% for the year in our High Growth option.
And while we invest to deliver long-term returns, we also invest responsibly. Managing environmental, social and governance risks in our portfolio is key to delivering members' retirement outcomes.
Super investments
We invest your super in a wide range of different assets in Australia and around the world. Our large, diversified portfolio includes listed investments, like shares and bonds, as well unlisted investments in sectors like infrastructure and property.
Here are some examples:
Renewables
Through PowAR and Tilt Renewables, we’re backing some of Australia’s largest wind and solar energy projects.
Hospitals
Bendigo and Sunshine coast University Hospitals support over 160,000 patients annually.
Technology
We invest in the digital economy through fibre and network companies, like Vocus in Australia and data centres, like Switch in the US.
Living
We invest where people live, work and retire - in retirement villages in Australia as well as build-to-rent apartments in Australia and overseas.
