Our Awards
SuperRatings’ awards recognise the very best of the best within Australia’s superannuation industry. We examine each fund’s value proposition, from investment performance to fees to member servicing, to determine which funds are truly delivering for their members.
Along with the coveted Fund of the Year Award, SuperRatings also recognises those funds that are contributing to the success of the superannuation system through innovation, social responsibility, and a focus on the needs of particular sectors.
Recognising Excellence
Since the inception of superannuation in Australia, the industry has continued to innovate, unlock new sources of value, and work to improve retirement outcomes for members. We believe it is important to recognise those funds that are taking a leading role in creating a better superannuation system for everyone.
Each year, SuperRatings recognises the achievements of individual super funds across a range of categories, with the overall Fund of the Year Award presented to the fund that offers the best value proposition to its members.
