Future Super has reduced its fees on all of its investment options starting this month after the fund saw huge growth last year.
The fund said it had a 200% increase in new members compared to 2019.
Future Super chief executive, Kirstin Hunter, said: “There’s a long-held view that ethical funds are more expensive, however the fee reductions we’re announcing bring our balanced index fees to well-below the industry median.
“These lower barriers mean that more Australians will be investing in a future that they want to live in.”

Australia’s largest super funds have deepened private markets exposure, scaled internal investment capability, and balanced liquidity as competition and consolidation intensify.
The ATO has revealed nearly $19 billion in lost and unclaimed super, urging over 7 million Australians to reclaim their savings.
The industry super fund has launched a new digital experience designed to make retirement preparation simpler and more personalised for its members.
A hold in the cash rate during the upcoming November monetary policy meeting appears to now be a certainty off the back of skyrocketing inflation during the September quarter.
A Balanced Index fund at $530 p.a. may below the industry median, but is pretty darn expensive for an indexed fund.
