ACTIVE INSIGHTS

December 2021

As 2021 draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support of Active Super during a tumultuous year. 

Despite the challenges posed by Covid-19, the year had many highlights and achievements. We adopted the Active Super name, we passed the first MySuper performance test and we delivered some of the best investment returns in our history. As a positive bonus, in August Active Super was ranked as the nation’s best-performing fund, according to the ATO comparison tool.*

The year ahead promises to be an exciting one as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. Your team at Active Super will continue to focus on investment performance and returns, remaining committed to our responsible investment approach, while striving to deliver quality service at all times for members.

On behalf of the Trustee Board and everyone at Active Super, I wish you all a relaxing break with family and friends and hope it offers plenty of time for rest and rejuvenation as we look towards a prosperous 2022.
