## Resource

Australia’s $4.5 trillion retirement fund is sitting on a massive opportunity to power the nation’s clean energy future—but it’s not moving fast enough. While just under 1% of top super funds have invested directly in renewables since 2020, billions are still flowing into fossil fuels. Funds are caught between delivering returns and meeting government performance benchmarks, which some say are stifling innovation. A current review of those benchmarks could unlock a new era of investment in renewables—potentially giving Aussies a direct stake in the energy transition and helping cut costs for big projects already struggling with delays and high prices.
