🏗️ A Solid Foundation Cbus Super was established in 1984 to provide superannuation for the hardworking members of the building, construction, and allied industries. It was created by the industry, for the industry, to ensure workers had a secure financial future.
🏙️ Building a Better Future From its headquarters in Melbourne, Cbus Super has become a leading national fund. A key part of its investment philosophy is to invest in property and infrastructure projects that not only deliver strong returns but also create jobs for its members.
🤝 For Members, Not Profit As a proud industry super fund, Cbus Super is run only to benefit its members. The fund's core mission is to maximise retirement outcomes and provide support for the workers who build Australia.

Cbus Super's default Growth (MySuper) option targets a 73.5/26.5 growth-to-defensive asset allocation. The portfolio invests across Australian and global shares, emerging market shares, private equity, infrastructure, property, alternatives, global credit, fixed interest and cash. The fund invests directly in property through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cbus Property and has been expanding into renewable energy infrastructure. This diversified approach aims to deliver returns well above inflation over the long term.
At an estimated $412 per year on a $50,000 balance, Cbus Super sits below the industry median of $467. The fund's scale as a $100 billion industry fund allows it to negotiate competitive investment management costs. Its profit-for-member structure means fee revenue is directed toward member services rather than shareholder returns, helping keep overall costs lower.
Cbus Super suits workers in the building, construction and allied industries who benefit from the fund's tailored insurance cover and deep sector knowledge. It is also well-suited for members in any industry who are looking for a low-cost, profit-for-member fund with a diversified default option and a strong long-term track record.
