ACTIVE INSIGHTS

December 2022

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Active Super delivering superannuation, insurance and retirement products and services for our members.

Active Super once again passed the MySuper Product Performance Test and we’re ranked among the top-performing super funds on the ATO’s YourSuper Comparison Tool. 

While it has been a challenging year in investment markets given the economic and geopolitical turbulence, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support and commitment.

We continue to focus on looking after your superannuation and retirement savings by concentrating on investments that deliver solid, long-term returns and that have a positive impact on the world. 

Just this month we received further industry recognition: Our Account-Based Pension Plan received a Platinum ranking from SuperRatings, plus we achieved Gold awards for our MySuper Lifestage Product, Accumulation Scheme, Personal Division and Retirement Scheme. Elsewhere, Money Magazine named Active Super as an ESG Super Fund Leader for 2022. We also secured 2nd place in the Best Diversified ESG Super Product category and were named as the 3rd Best Value Super Fund for Young People. 

Following our name change to Active Super in 2021, we continue to broaden our appeal across Australia, and have invested further in services and technology to enhance your experience as a valued member. 

We are currently progressing merger discussions with Vision Super which presents an opportunity to become a larger, more efficient fund that will work to deliver even better outcomes for all members. Vision Super is aligned with our core values and beliefs, and with both funds combining their respective strengths, members will be the ultimate beneficiaries.

On behalf of the Trustee Board and the team at Active Super, I would like to wish everyone a joyous and relaxing time with family and friends over the coming holiday season. 

Best Regards,

Phil Stockwell
