We focus on getting the maximum return on investments for all of our members.
What is a default fund?
In a nutshell, your default fund is the fund into which you pay your employees’ Super Guarantee (SG) contributions if they don’t already have a fund of their own.
Awards-specified fund
If you’re in an industry with a Modern Award1 , there will be a default fund specified for you in that award. If you’re not sure, do a quick check with the Industry Super's Default Fund Finder to find the industry fund/s listed in your industry's Modern Award.
It’s possible Hostplus may even be a specified fund for the award or agreement your employees are covered by. If you do need to choose a default fund, partnering with Hostplus as your default fund is straightforward.
