About Us
Australian Retirement Trust is a super fund formed through the merger of Sunsuper and QSuper. We don't pay shareholders, which means we can reinvest profits back to members as lower fees and better value products and services.

We'll use our size and scale to be a force for good to make our members’ world better, working with the community and seeking out investments to grow their savings and retirement income.

I am ready to retire. What options does Australian Retirement Trust offer?
1.Leave your money in super
You can leave your money in your super account for as long as you want.
2.Receive regular payments
You can open a Retirement Income account by transferring all or some of your money from your super account. You can then set up a regular payment from your Retirement Income account into your bank account.
3.Withdraw as a lump sum
You can keep all or some of your money in your super account and make lump sum withdrawals into your bank account.
I am retiring soon - how do I get my super out?
Many people think they need to withdraw their super as a lump sum at retirement. You don't. In fact, you may be better off leaving it invested so it will continue to receive investment earnings. If you do decide to take a lump sum payment, a minimum amount of $2,000 applies.
What are the benefits of starting an Australian Retirement Trust Retirement Income account?
Pay less tax:
Any regular income payments or lump sum withdrawals are tax free if you're aged 60 or over. Earnings on your investments are generally tax free*.
Replace employment income:
Your money may last longer if you withdraw it in stages as an income stream, rather than all at once.
Invest for your future:
Your money can be invested according to your timeframe and income needs.
Lump sum withdrawal:
We allow you to make lump sum withdrawals from your Income account when you want to.
