What advantages do we offer?
Equipsuper is run only to benefit members
Equipsuper is a profit-for-member fund that puts members' needs first. This means we focus on delivering excellent value-for-money, with a long history of delivering strong investment returns and providing ready access to competitively priced death and disability insurance cover.
Our investment performance regularly outperforms published surveys like SuperRatings, which compare the performance of several hundred industry and commercial super funds. Equipsuper members can choose from five Diversified and six Sector Specific investment options to build an investment portfolio suited to their financial goals and tolerance to risk.
You can find out more about investment performance here. But don't just take out word for it! If you want to check out what SuperRatings said about Equipsuper Corporate superannuation, just download the SuperRatings Fundamentals report on it.
Ease of interaction
Members can contact our Helpline 1800 682 626 for help and support between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. (AEST) from Monday to Friday. They also have 24/7 access to our member-friendly website, through which they can update account and personal information.
We deliver regular free workplace and lifestyle seminars and other special events throughout the year, providing insights into a range of topics including investment and contribution strategies and retirement planning.
You can see a list of our upcoming seminars and events here.
Earning an income from super
Once you reach 55, we can help you transition into retirement using a Transition to Retirement Pension (TRP), which offers a range of special advantages, including:
- Working less hours while maintaining your current income;
- Reducing the amount of income tax you pay;
- Boosting your retirement savings; and
- Moving some of your super into an environment in which you pay no tax on investment earnings.
Once you retire from work altogether, we can provide a flexible Account Based Pension (ABP), from which you can draw a regular income in retirement, make lump sum withdrawals for special purchases and so on.
Whether you have a TRP or an ABP, you can choose from the same investment options with which you are already familiar as an Equipsuper accumulation member.
You can find more information on our pension products here. But don't just take our word for it! If you want to check out what SuperRatings said about our Account Based Pension, just download the SuperRatings Fundamentals report on it.
Getting advice
Making the most of your super is often about getting good advice. Equipsuper offers plenty of help and support - from general advice through the Helpline, to full-service, personal financial planning.
If you simply want to advice on what to do in relation to your current super contributions, investments and insurance, you may choose to use our Member Adviser service, which is a lower cost service for superannuation-specific personal advice.
You can find more on information on our advice services here.
