Hostplus continues to deliver strong results, backed by global market momentum and a well-diversified investment strategy.
Our Balanced (MySuper) option delivered a return of 3.33% for the September quarter and has delivered 8.86% per annum over the past 10 years.1
Global share markets climbed again through the September quarter, continuing a long rally since April. US shares outperformed Australian shares, driven by tech giants like Apple, Meta and Amazon, and better-than-expected US economic growth.
Good investing isn’t only about benefiting from rising markets, though. It’s also about anticipating potential downturns and limiting their impact. That’s why we invest in a wide range of assets, not just listed shares.
Our strong, long-term returns are just one reason Hostplus has been named number one – three times over. This year alone we've been awarded Best Super Fund by both Money magazine and Mozo, and Provider of the Year by Finder. It's more proof that your super is in good hands.
