REI Super has received authorisation from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) to offer a MySuper product from 1 July.
REI Super chief executive Mal Smith said the fund's existing default product, the trustee super balanced option, would become the fund's new MySuper investment option.
Smith said MySuper was a continuation of the fund's current investment approach — low fees, diversified investment options and strong investment returns.
"As REI Super is a fund named in both the Federal Modern Real Estate and Clerical awards, it continues to offer members and employers a highly suitable superannuation solution," he said.
"Our ability to offer a value-for-money default super fund for members also ensures employers in the real estate industry can meet the Government's requirements in relation to their super obligations."
Employers will be required to pay employees' super contributions into a MySuper product unless choice of fund has been exercised.
A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
