This year, REI Super proudly celebrates 50 years of serving the real estate community. Since 1975, we’ve been the industry’s superannuation fund, built by real estate professionals, for real estate professionals.
A Fund Born from the Industry
REI Super was established to meet a very specific need, an industry super fund that truly understands the real estate profession. From the beginning, our board has included individuals from the real estate industry, those who understand the challenges of commission-based income, the demands of long hours, and the importance of stability. That connection has shaped our fund’s values and direction for five decades.
We’ve grown and evolved alongside the industry, but our purpose remains the same, to help our members build a secure financial future, no matter where their real estate career takes them.
Super before it was Compulsory
REI Super was founded in 1975, well before the introduction of the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) in 1992. Back then, superannuation wasn’t compulsory, and many workers had no retirement savings at all. Our founders recognised the importance of long-term financial security for retirement and acted early to support real estate professionals in planning for their future.
In 2005, REI Super became a public offer fund, opening our doors to all Australians from any industry while continuing to specialise in the needs of the real estate sector.
More than just Super
Let’s be honest – superannuation isn’t the most exciting topic. But what is exciting is the life it can help you build in retirement. Whether it’s the freedom to travel, the ability to support your family, or the peace of mind that comes with financial independence, super is the foundation that helps make those dreams possible.
That’s why REI Super offers 30-minute Retirement Health Check sessions at no cost, providing an opportunity to reflect on how your super is tracking and whether you're on the right path. For those wanting to explore their options further, our financial planning service provides thoughtful, personalised guidance to help you make informed decisions. Because planning for retirement isn’t just about numbers, it’s about understanding what’s possible.
“Fifty years is a significant milestone, but what matters most is the trust our members place in us every day. We’re proud to have supported the real estate community through decades of change, and we remain focused on helping our members achieve the future they’re working towards.”
— Jarrod Coysh, CEO, REI Super
Supporting you Beyond Retirement Savings
We know that financial wellbeing is about more than just dollars and cents. That’s why we offer access to 360Health to all our members and their immediate family members at no extra cost. A holistic virtual health and wellbeing service that complements our financial education services. It’s designed to support your physical, mental, and social health, because we believe a good life in retirement starts with good health today.
Staying True to our Purpose
As we look to the future, we remain committed to delivering strong long-term investment performance and providing financial guidance that’s relevant to your career and life goals.
Here’s to REI Super’s 50 years of experience and to helping you shape a retirement that’s as rewarding and individual as the career that got you there.
