The Equip Super Story

Equip Super has a history rooted in a long-term commitment to its members, having evolved from a workplace scheme into a modern industry fund. It is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia.

• 🕰️ Founding History Equip Super was founded in 1931 as the Provident Fund of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria. Its original purpose was to provide a pension scheme for the employees of the SEC of Victoria.

• 🤝 Core Ethos Equip Super operates as a profit-to-member industry super fund, meaning all profits are used to benefit members rather than external shareholders. The fund's objective is to deliver competitive returns, lower fees, and better retirement outcomes for its members.

• 🇦🇺 Key Member Fact The fund has grown significantly through mergers and is now a fund of scale, managing billions in assets for over 140,000 members across Australia. Equip Super provides superannuation, defined benefit, and retirement income plans to members from a wide range of sectors.

• 🧭 Responsible Investing The fund is committed to integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into its investment approach to enhance long-term, risk-adjusted returns for its members. Equip Super believes that managing these non-financial risks is fundamental to its fiduciary responsibility.
