About us
Words by Christina Hobbs, Verve Super co-founder
In 2018, Zoe, Alex, and I came together because we knew that it was time to build something bold and audacious: the first Australian superannuation fund to be founded by women, led by women, and tailored for women.
We felt an urgency to bring Verve to life because we were sick of the status quo: we had a 35% super gap between men and women, elderly Australian women retiring into poverty, and Big Banks and super funds plagued by scandals.
We wanted ethical, trustworthy, and supportive financial services for women, now. And we wanted the opportunity for women to control capital to invest in the more compassionate, sustainable, and healthy future we all want, now.
We wanted seats for women at the table. Our table.
Verve was founded with the knowledge that it’s not enough for individual women to succeed, but rather we must work together to redefine what economic success looks like, to ensure it’s sustainable, inclusive, and equitable for all.
Today Verve is a flourishing community of thousands of women joined by men and non-binary folk who identify with our mission. And now it’s the ideas and enthusiasm of our members that set the direction of where we go next.
So come join us.
Verve Super is part of the Smart Future Trust. The fund is legally overseen by Equity Trustees Superannuation Limited (ETSL), a corporate trustee responsible for making sure your super is managed with integrity, transparency, and in line with the rules.
Managing a super fund means caring for billions of dollars and thousands of members while navigating some of the most tightly regulated terrain in finance.
That’s where Future Group Investment Management Pty Ltd (FGIM) steps in. Appointed by ETSL, FGIM leads the investment strategy and day-to-day management of Verve Super's assets, making sure your money is growing and doing good, so you can retire into a future that actually feels worth it.
