Australian Retirement Trust to welcome Qantas Super

Published - 13 February 2025

Australian Retirement Trust (ART) has signed a Successor Fund Transfer Deed (SFT) with Qantas Superannuation Limited (the Trustee) to progress its merger with the iconic airline’s fund, scheduled for 29 March, 2025.

ART Chief Executive Officer, David Anderson, said the merger completion will deliver benefits to tens of thousands of new, as well as existing, Australian Retirement Trust members.

“We’re proud Qantas Super has entrusted us to support and enable its members to awaken their super with ART,” Mr Anderson said.

“Qantas is an iconic global brand, and Qantas Super has an 86-year history which we will continue to respect, as we serve their members long into the future.

“We look forward to supporting these new members to achieve the retirement they deserve, after their working years to keep our nation moving.

“Our new and existing members can realise the benefits of super through our leading global investment capability, award winning financial advice services, and dedicated member support.

Mr Anderson said the focus of ART remains on successfully finalising the Qantas Super successor fund transfer and delivering benefits for all members.

“Our members are at the heart of what we do, and this approach will continue as we welcome 25,000 new members from Qantas Super next month,” he said.

“Our member services team will be ready to support them as they do for all our members, in-person, on the phone and online.

“We want all our members to retire well, with confidence. A focus on delivering strong investments returns and world-class education and advice services, are included as part of their membership.”
