The Australian Retirement Trust (ART) is an Australian superannuation fund headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland. It has $230bn under management and over 2 million members, making it Australia's second-largest superannuation fund.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The Australian Retirement Trust was founded on 28 February 2022 following the merger between Sunsuper and QSuper.[3] It was the largest superannuation fund merger in Australian history.[3]

On 30 April 2022, the Australia Post Superannuation Scheme (APSS) was merged into the Australian Retirement Trust.[4] In May 2022, Woolworths appointed the Australian Retirement Trust to manage its corporate superannuation services.[5]

On 21 February 2023, the Commonwealth Bank Group Super announced it had entered into a memorandum of understanding to pursue a merger with the Australian Retirement Trust.[6] In July 2024, Qantas announced it would merge its superannuation fund with Australian Retirement Trust.[7]
