Our purpose at Hostplus is simple: To put more money into members' pockets when they retire.
Hostplus is a proud Industry SuperFund
Importantly, as an Industry SuperFund we’re run only to benefit our members. Unlike bank-owned and other retail funds, we don’t pay profits to shareholders. And other than the cost of running the Fund, all our profits are owned by and benefit our members, principally delivered through our net investment returns to members’ accounts.
Strong long-term returns
With super, long-term performance matters. Our default Balanced (MySuper) option is ranked the number one option over rolling 10 and 20-year periods.1
How your super fund performs over the long term will make a big difference to your retirement. It comes down to your net benefit - the amount you actually receive after admin fees, investment fees and taxes have been deducted from the money your investment earns. Put simply, the higher the net benefit, the more money members will have at retirement.
According to SuperRatings, based on a starting income of $50,000 and a starting super balance of $50,000, a Hostplus member in our default Balanced (MySuper) option is $27,316 better off than the average not-for-profit member over the past 15 years. And, is $32,152 better off when looking at the average of all other balanced options over the same period.²
So, your future is in good hands with Hostplus. That's a plus.
