Annual returns to June 2025
For the third year running, super funds surpassed expectations in the financial year to June 2025. Against a backdrop of Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs and rising geopolitical tensions, with high market volatility, the median Growth fund returned 10.5%.
This followed the strong 9.1% return in the 2024 financial year and 9.2% in the 2023 financial year, meaning super funds have returned around 30% over the past three years.
