Consistent with the investment strategy since 1 July 2023, the QSuper Socially Responsible option invests in line with an extended set of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. This option employs multiple sustainable investment approaches, including negative (exclusionary) screening for shares, ESG integration, and sustainability-themed investing, as set out in the QSuper Investment Guide.
We believe the changes we have made to the QSuper Socially Responsible option will improve performance while staying true to member's desires to invest inline with an extended set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles.
We will be advising members of our intention to close this option from 1 July 2024. Further communications will be provided to members about this intention at the relevant time. We encourage members to review their investment options to make sure they are still appropriate for their needs and consider speaking with a professional advisor.3
