Our growth trajectory
At Aware Super, we are on a growth trajectory to the next significant milestone of A$250 billion FUM.
This growth will also be accompanied by a world-class investment team working from Australia and London, with plans to open a third office in the USA.
To reduce fees and activate the alpha on our directly held assets, we also aim to internally manage 50% of our assets.
