Celebrating 40 years of strong returns for our members 

With Cbus Super celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, we are pleased to reflect on the strong long term investment outcomes we have generated for our members, with an average annual return of 8.87%¹ since our inception in 1984 and 7.73%¹ p.a. over the last 10 years.

Investment markets are rarely smooth sailing, and this year was no different. While we faced into some strong headwinds in the early part of the financial year, when conditions did eventually turn, we made strong headway, with our Growth (MySuper) investment option delivering a healthy 8.35%¹ return for 2023/24 financial year.

Our diversified accumulation investment options have also delivered positive results. The High Growth investment option has delivered a 10.85%¹ return and Indexed Diversified 11.42%¹. Australian Shares returned 11.41%¹ and Overseas Shares returned 15.72%¹.

For members who watch their super closely, it’s common to see periods of short-term volatility in your returns. Over the last 12 months, these ups and downs were largely attributed to ongoing inflation concerns – the rising costs of living and global events like the conflict in the Middle East. With 40 years of super experience now behind us, we’ve seen plenty of events like these before, and together, we’ve gotten through them.
