Merger information

AustralianSuper was launched on 1 July 2006 following the merger of Australian Retirement Fund (ARF) and Superannuation Trust of Australia (STA).

The merger drew on a combined 1.2 million members from over 65,000 employers and over $20 billion in assets, making AustralianSuper one of the largest superannuation funds in the country.

As a bigger and better-resourced fund AustralianSuper has delivered a number of key benefits to members, including:

  • An increased range and higher quality of products and services
  • Greater economies of scale which we use to keep costs low
  • A single, stronger brand more able to compete in the superannuation marketplace.

In particular, extra benefits to members include the expansion of the Member Investment Choice suite to 16 diverse options – including PreMixed and DIY Mix options, and the ASX 200 Shares Investment Options. A new offering of insurance was also introduced providing access to affordable Death, Total Permanent Disablement (TPD) and Income Protection insurance.

AustralianSuper will strive to deliver strong long-term investment returns, competitive fees and leading products and services while staying committed to run only to profit members.

Did you have an account with both ARF and STA?

If so, we have merged your accounts into one. However, if you are still receiving more than one AustralianSuper Member Statement in any reporting period, please contact the Fund to arrange a consolidation of accounts.
