Looking after NSW Public Sector employees since 1919
About us
State Super is one of the first superannuation funds established in Australia, beginning in NSW in 1919 with the creation of the ‘State Superannuation Scheme’ for salaried public servants. It is in The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) Top 15 super funds in Australia with $38bn in assets as at June 2023 and over 85,000 members. State Super members include NSW government employees and public sector employees including police, teachers, nurses and more. State Super, also known as SAS Trustee Corporation, closed the schemes to new members in the late 1980’s and early 90’s but continues to manage the defined benefit super and pension schemes for all its members and supports them with retirement planning seminars, interviews and phone support. State Super employees are guided by five well-defined Member Beliefs and are committed to always acting in member’s best interests. State Super acknowledged its’ centenary in 2019 with the announcement of the State Super Scholarship, which will provide a pipeline of new research into the super, retirement and pension funding needs of public sector workers. Located in Clarence Street Sydney, State Super is led by Chief Executive Officer John Livanas and his executive team. Chairperson Nicholas Johnson heads up the State Super Board.

Delivering for Our Defined Contribution Members in the Growth Option – A Decade of Strong Returns and Stability Our members who’ve been with us over the last 10 years* have enjoyed strong, above-median returns that, on average**, generated over $16,000** more than the median SR50 Balanced super fund. Even better, we’ve achieved this with significantly lower portfolio volatility. Why is this important? Over the past decade, the worst drawdown our members in the Growth option experienced was nearly one-third lower compared to the median SR50 Balanced fund. This means greater stability, greater peace of mind, and, most importantly, the confidence that our member’s capital is safe with us. At State Super, we’re committed to delivering strong, consistent outcomes while protecting members financial future. #Superannuation #MemberFirst #InvestmentStability #LongTermGrowth Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. * 10-year period refers to 1 Jan 2015 - 31 December 2024. **Calculated using the average member balance in 2015 and the difference between DC Growth return vs SR50 Balanced Index.

State Super's Chief Investment Officer, Charles Wu, recently featured in the CFA Institute Research and Policy Center case study on how State Super utilises AI in its investment processes. #AI #Investments
AI can add value in almost every part of the investment process, providing support in information gathering and analysis, sometimes from non-traditional and hard-to-access data sources, for portfolio management purposes. A recent CFA Institute Research and Policy Center featured case studies from NSW government pension fund State Super (SAS Trustee Corporation) and other global asset owners. #AI #portfoliomanagement #InvestmentMagazine https://lnkd.in/gtrNPnw5
