Future Group positions super offerings for growth

Financial Standard

|

April 22, 2025

As part of Future Group's broader plans to scale, Future Super and Verve Super are set to be merged into the Smart Future Trust, giving members of each a completely new menu of investment options for less.

- Jamie Williamson

From May 23, the Future Super Fund, including the Verve Super sub-plan, will be moved into a standalone division of the Smart Future Trust by way of a successor fund transfer.

The Future Super and Verve Super brands will remain, and they will continue to invest in the same way, with the existing approaches to screening and impact investing to remain as is.

However, members of both offerings will benefit from the advantages of scale the move offers, seeing an immediate administration fee reduction and access to an enhanced range of investment options. They will also now have access to intra-fund financial advice.
