Australian Catholic Superannuation - Personal Plan

Australian Catholic Superannuation was initially established as an industry superannuation fund to provide retirement benefits to those who teach or work in Catholic schools and Church Agencies, with membership now open to the general public. The fund is Infinity Recognised, which is a result of its strong commitment to environmental and social principles. Members are provided a choice of 6 'Managed Options' and 6 'Build your Own Options', including the Socially Responsible Balanced option for the ethical investor. The Growth option has underperformed the SuperRatings Index over the 5 years to 30 June 2017 and over the longer term, although the fund has consistently provided low levels of volatility in investment earnings. Fees are lower than the industry average across all account balances assessed. No fees are charged for switching investments; however, an exit fee applies for withdrawals. A full suite of insurance cover is offered, with Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) insurance cover automatically provided upon joining the fund. Income Protection is available to a maximum of 85% of salary, with benefit payment periods of 2 years, 5 years or to age 65 and a choice of 30, 60 and 90 day waiting periods.A range of online tools, calculators and educational resources are available through the fund's website. The secure online facility; Member Online, further allows members to view and update account details, as well as perform transactions, while the Australian Catholic Superannuation Super app provides convenient access to account information.
