Construction and Building Unions Superannuation (Cbus) is an Australian industry super fund.
It is one of Australia's largest super funds. It is open to all members of the public as a public offer fund.
Due to its mutual fund structure, CBUS retains all profits to members.
History

Features
[edit]There are over 136,000 employers that have made CBUS the default fund for their employees, and the fund manages roughly $85 billion in retirement savings.[2]
