While innocent people die in conflicts around the world, weapons manufacturers are watching their share prices soar. War is literally good for their business. At Future Super, we strongly believe that profit shouldn’t come before human life. That's why weapon companies are screened out of Future Super’s investments. No bombs & no bullets.

So you can be confident your super is not invested in companies that manufacture weapons. Screening out these companies is a simple decision; companies that manufacture bombs aren’t compatible with the future we want to see.

The real cost of investing in weapons

A century ago, most war casualties were soldiers. Today? Almost 90% are civilians, mostly women and children. Over a million women and girls have lost everything since war broke out in Gaza in October 2023.

These aren't just statistics. They're people killed by weapons made by companies like BAE and Lockheed Martin, companies making bank while families are torn apart.

Is your super invested in weapons?

In 2024, ABC Australia exposed something wild: major Aussie super funds are investing in weapons manufacturers through their "ethical" and "socially conscious" options.

One of Australia's biggest funds holds shares in General Dynamics – a company that makes depleted uranium bullets. You know, the ones that cause cancer when they hit their target. Real socially conscious, right?

While other funds are funding companies that profit from conflict, Future Super is backing renewable energy, sustainable housing , and healthcare. Because we believe your money should build a better future, not destroy it.

Check your super. Seriously.

You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out where your super's invested.

Most Aussies have no idea their retirement savings could be invested in weapons manufacturers. By law, super funds have to disclose their investments – your super is your money, and you’re entitled to know what it’s up to.

Ready to make sure your super isn't funding weapons companies? Consider switching your super to an ethical super fund that screens out weapons.
