Cbus (superannuation fund)

Cbus is an Australian industry superannuation fund for the construction, building, infrastructure and allied industries. It was established in 1984 as a fund specifically catering to the needs of workers in these sectors, recognizing the unique employment conditions and characteristics of the industry, such as project-based work, potential for fluctuating income, and the importance of portability of superannuation benefits.

Cbus is a profit-to-member fund, meaning that all profits are returned to its members. It provides a range of investment options to suit different risk profiles and retirement goals. These options typically include diversified options, as well as options focused on specific asset classes such as property, infrastructure, or Australian and international shares.

Membership is generally open to those working in the construction and related industries. Cbus also provides services to employers, assisting them with their superannuation obligations. The fund invests significantly in property and infrastructure projects, particularly those related to building and development, reflecting its commitment to the industries it serves. Cbus is regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and adheres to strict governance standards.
