Find my other super

Do you have another fund you'd like to consider combining into your Australian Retirement Trust account? We can find it for you using your TFN.

By selecting Yes, find my other super, you consent to Australian Retirement Trust using the Australian Tax Office (ATO) SuperMatch service to use your TFN to search for any other super you may have. This super may be with other super funds or held with the ATO.

If we find money with the ATO, you also consent to Australian Retirement Trust requesting the ATO transfer these amounts into your Australian Retirement Trust account where possible. If we find money with other super funds, you’ll have the choice of whether you transfer this or not.

To help keep track of your super, we'll also conduct an ongoing annual search on your behalf. If at any time you wish to revoke your consent, please contact Australian Retirement Trust on 13 11 84.

Let’s take a moment to consider your investments

Most members start with our default investment option - The Lifecycle Investment Strategy. Australian Retirement Trust offers a range of 19 investment options if you'd like to choose your own investment strategy.

Lifecycle Investment Strategy

The Lifecycle Strategy is designed for members who want to generate wealth over the long-term, and gradually transition to lower-risk investments as they approach age 65.

: Defensive assets(lower risk / return)
: Growth assets(higher risk / return)

Let’s set up your insurance

Insurance in Super Savings can help protect you and your family, in the event something were to happen to you. Premiums are deducted from your super account, so there’s no impact on your take-home pay.
Before making a choice about insurance , you should consider the impact of which these premiums will have on the money you have in retirement.

It is important you are aware of your Duty of Disclosure in relation to your insurance cover. Please ensure you read the full Duty of Disclosure
