ABOUT qsuper + sun super
QSuper and Sunsuper merged in 2022 to become Australian Retirement Trust, Australia’s largest super fund with two million members and $200 billion in funds under management.
This analysis was conducted pre-merger.
KEY FINDINGS
QSuper and Sunsuper should include nuclear weapons in the definition of controversial weapons, and expand the exclusion to all portfolios. This should also apply to self-invest options.
QSuper and Sunsuper should ensure all companies that derive revenue from nuclear weapons are excluded with a 0% revenue threshold, and divest from all current nuclear weapons holdings.
Policy
Neither QSuper nor Sunsuper have an adequate policy to exclude nuclear weapons from the investment portfolio.
Holdings
Outside the Socially Responsible Investment Option, proxy voting records show that QSuper invested in 13 nuclear weapons producers in the financial year 2020/2021.
