At Australian Ethical, we know it’s possible to pursue both business and sustainability objectives together. Profit with purpose is not only possible, it’s essential to our future. Together, there's a lot of good we can do. As we continue to do our best for the benefit of you and the planet, we'd like to say thanks for investing with heart.
Please note: Due to the way our accounts are set up, some things are different to existing Australian Ethical members and you’ll be using a different member portal and forms. You’ll know you’re in the right place on the website and using the right form if you see reference to ‘previous Christian Super members’ or ‘ex-CS members’ for short.

about the transfer
APRA (one of the regulators for super funds) placed a number of licence conditions upon Christian Super which led Christian Super to consider whether transferring their members to another super fund was in the best financial interests of those members.
Christian Super considered a number of possible funds with Australian Ethical being deemed the strongest candidate with our purpose-driven approach to investing ethically being a key factor in this decision.
While Australian Ethical Super is not a faith-based super fund, we share a commitment to promote human prosperity and environmental stewardship, an approach important to people from all walks of life including the faith community.
All our investments are positively and negatively screened against our Ethical Charter. You can see the details of our investments by option as at 31 March 2022 in our Portfolio Holdings Disclosure.
Our stance on a range of important issues can be found here. They’ve been developed by asking what’s best for the future of people, the planet and animals.

As outlined in communications from Christian Super, your fees are now aligned with the Australian Ethical fee structure, and in the majority of cases are lower than they were previously.

As outlined in communications from Christian Super, your investment options have been mapped to Australian Ethical investment options as closely as possible to reflect your intended investment decision. If you were invested in more than one option, your account balance will have been transferred in the same allocation.
You can view the details anytime in your member portal.
As outlined in communications from Christian Super, any insurance you held within your super has been transferred to MetLife. Find out more on our insurance page for ex-CS members here.
