We’re pleased to announce that Catholic Super, and our partner fund Equip, have passed the 2022 Performance Test of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). This annual review benchmarks superannuation funds and publicly names underperformers.

The initiative is part of the Federal Government’s Your Future Your Super reforms. It assesses MySuper products with at least five years of performance history against the objective benchmark.

The results are great news for members and emphasise our commitment to long-term results. For a more detailed analysis of how we compare, and our how members are better off in retirement, please check our comparisons table.

APRA assessed 69 MySuper products as part of its annual review. Five super funds failed to meet the benchmark this year, including Australian Catholic Superannuation and Retirement Fund (ACSRF). This is the second year in a row the fund has failed the performance test.

Although it shares a similar name to ours, ACSRF is a completely separate super fund with no connection to Catholic Super. This has created confusion in the past, and it’s important to note that we are industry competitors.

As APRA explains in its latest results, “The annual performance test was introduced last year to protect members from poor outcomes and hold trustees accountable for the implementation of their investment strategy. The test assesses products’ long-term performance against a clear and objective benchmark tailored to each product’s asset allocation.”
