Vision Super

Vision Super was established in 1947 as a superannuation scheme in Australia. It delivers investment and insurance products to members through the Vision Pooled Superannuation Trust and the Local Authorities Superannuation Fund. The structure remains tied to its origins in the profit-to-member sector. The scheme allocates across infrastructure, real estate, and private equity. Infrastructure exposure runs through managers including IFM Investors and Morrison & Co. Private equity commitments include Lexington Capital Partners, LGT Capital Partners, and Stafford Private Equity. Property options cover office, retail, industrial, healthcare, and education assets in Australia. Geographic reach spans Australia, the United States, and Europe. Public equity positions include holdings in Scentre Group, Prologis, and Lendlease. The firm employs no disclosed headcount figure. It maintains membership in the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees. Service providers include J.P. Morgan as custodian and Frontier Advisors as asset consultant. March 2025: Merged with Active Super to create a $30 billion fund, with Stephen Rowe appointed CEO of the combined entity. The merger with Active Super altered governance by integrating board representation from the Australian Services Union. This produces a larger scale vehicle while retaining the original superannuation mandate and member-focused structure.
