Large mainstream super fund with one ESG-screened investment option. Not Shariah-certified. Listed as a mainstream comparison reference only.
Key Facts
Overview
REST Super is a large mainstream Australian super fund primarily serving retail, hospitality, and service sector workers. It offers one investment option — Sustainable Growth — that applies ESG screening. REST is listed in this category as a mainstream comparison reference only. It is not Shariah-certified, does not apply Islamic finance principles, and does not have a Shariah supervisory board. Only its Sustainable Growth option applies any environmental or social screen.
Services Provided
REST Super provides standard superannuation services including retirement accounts, insurance within super, and multiple investment options. The Sustainable Growth option applies an ESG (environmental, social, governance) screen but this does not constitute halal or Shariah compliance. The fund does not exclude riba-based financial services or apply any Islamic financial principle.
REST's Sustainable Growth option appears to offer basic ESG credentials at a competitive price point, but it has no relevance to users seeking genuine Shariah compliance. It is included here purely as a size and cost benchmark for the Australian super market. Users looking for authentic Islamic super options should look elsewhere in this listing.
