The Australian Primary Superannuation Fund (APSF) is the largest ‘not-for-profit’ industry superannuation fund servicing the primary sector in Australia. The Fund caters for compulsory super for employees (9% Super Guarantee) and is also available to the self-employed. Holding over $600M in assets for more than 150,000 members, the fund has been independently assessed as the lowest cost fund in its category for 4 of the last 5 years.
Following mergers with 2 other industry super funds earlier this year, the fund has now established a Brisbane base, and is actively offering its services throughout Queensland. Employees and employers in the Aquaculture industry will benefit from:
· Low fees (our ‘Primary Essentials’ product costs members only 70c per week)
· Not-for-profit structure – we are not aligned with financial institutions that are intent on keeping shareholders happy. All profits are distributed to fund members
· No commissions – the fund promotes itself through sponsorship programs and business relationships with relevant industry bodies
· Competitive Investment Earnings – increasing economies of scale allow us to maximise returns
· Easy Administration – hassle-free options for payment of contributions
· The Fund is also suitable for the self-employed as an inexpensive option to a self-managed fund.
