CSC super fund turns 100
The Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) has passed 100 years this week, making it Australia’s oldest continuously-operating super fund.
The fund, which worked for Australian Government and Defence Force personnel was set up in 1922 and currently had $58 billion in funds under management.
In its first year, the fund was called the Superannuation Fund Management Board and had 26,876 customers and 299 pensioners, which later grew to over 488,000 customers and 245,000 pensioners today.
CSC chief executive, Damian Hill, said: “We’re thrilled to be announcing this exciting milestone because for us it is about celebrating the incredible men and women who have previously served and those who continue to serve our country through their roles in the Australian Public Service and the Australian Defence Force.
“In this centenary year we celebrate our proud heritage but also who we are today and who we want to be in the future, and we are very excited about our next chapter – a chapter that will be totally driven by the needs of our customers.”
