What's your tax file number (TFN)?

We need your TFN to open a UniSuper Personal Account.

Before providing your TFN, we require you to read this important information.

Your tax file number must be 9 numbers, optionally separated by spaces or dashes.

Your tax file number must be no longer than 11 characters long.

Choose your investment options

Your contributions and transfers will automatically be invested in our Balanced (MySuper) option unless you'd like to choose your own investments.

You can choose a single investment option or a mix of investment options. All future contributions and transfers into your account will be invested in your chosen option(s).

Sector options are generally single asset class options that are less diversified and aren't intended to be used in isolation. They're intended to be combined with other investment options to build a diversified portfolio.

For example, the Australian Equity Income option might have exposure to as few as 20 entities, and Global Companies in Asia option as few as 40 entities compared to the Balanced option which has an exposure to over 1,500 entities.

If you choose to only invest in a Sector option, you may be exposed to more risk and may miss out on the benefits of the balance between risk and return offered by a Pre-Mixed option.

Bring your super with you?

An easy way to activate your UniSuper Personal Account is to transfer in super from another fund. This tool is for whole of balance transfers only and can’t be used to transfer a self-managed super fund (SMSF) or non-APRA super funds. If you have multiple super funds, you can transfer one now, and consolidate the others once your account has been activated.

Remember to check whether your other fund charges exit fees and if any benefits like insurance will be affected.

If you want to transfer insurance cover you have at your other fund to us, you need to wait until your Personal Account is activated. Please uncheck the box and skip this step (otherwise the cover at your other fund will cease)
