QSuper and Sunsuper are pleased to introduce: Australian Retirement Trust.
QSuper and Sunsuper will soon be coming together to form a bigger, better fund for the benefit of our members.
Australian Retirement Trust will be one Australia’s largest super funds, proud to take care of over $200 billion in retirement savings for more than two million members. Australian Retirement Trust will be a fund that works for members, not shareholders. We’ll work in members’ best interests and commit to returning profits to them as lower fees and better services.
Following the merger, all QSuper and Sunsuper members will become a part of Australian Retirement Trust and all Australians will be able to join.
The QSuper brand will continue, as a part of Australian Retirement Trust, dedicated to providing superannuation products and services to existing members as well as new Queensland Government employees and their families.1
What can you expect?
As an existing QSuper employer you won’t notice any changes when we merge, and neither will your staff who are QSuper members. There will be no changes to the way that you make contributions, contact us, receive information, or to the services we provide you.
You’ll continue to enjoy:
For your staff who are existing QSuper members, there will be no changes to their investments, insurance, fees, or account details when we merge.
What’s next?
The merger remains subject to a range of conditions, including regulatory, legislative and final board approvals. It is on track to be completed on 28 February 2022.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to update you and our members as our plans progress to become part of Australian Retirement Trust.
You can read our current employer FAQs here, learn more about our merged fund executive team, our future CEO and Board, and why we’re the most recommended superannuation fund in the country.4
