Future Super has reduced its fees on all of its investment options starting this month after the fund saw huge growth last year.
The fund said it had a 200% increase in new members compared to 2019.
Future Super chief executive, Kirstin Hunter, said: “There’s a long-held view that ethical funds are more expensive, however the fee reductions we’re announcing bring our balanced index fees to well-below the industry median.
“These lower barriers mean that more Australians will be investing in a future that they want to live in.”

Super funds had a “tremendous month” in November, according to new data.
Australia faces a decade of deficits, with the sum of deficits over the next four years expected to overshoot forecasts by $21.8 billion.
APRA has raised an alarm about gaps in how superannuation trustees are managing the risks associated with unlisted assets, after releasing the findings of its latest review.
Compared to how funds were allocated to March this year, industry super funds have slightly decreased their allocation to infrastructure in the six months to September – dropping from 11 per cent to 10.6 per cent, according to the latest APRA data.
A Balanced Index fund at $530 p.a. may below the industry median, but is pretty darn expensive for an indexed fund.
