Self-Employed
Cbus have built a product that is specifically designed for the self-employed
![]() |
After 1 July 2007, contributions within the relevant Caps are fully deductible to self-employed members, making superannuation one of the most tax-effective, long term investment vehicles for self-employed people.
Cbus Self-Employed has been developed specifically for self-employed people. It has low fees, and the default option ‘Core Strategy' (formerly Cbus Super) has returned an average of 10.9% per annum, after fees and charges, since inception in 1984*. Unlike some funds, Cbus pays no commissions to agents or dividends to shareholders. With Cbus all profits belong to members, and that means more money for you in retirement. All this can make a lifetime of difference to your final superannuation payout.
With Cbus Self-Employed Super you can contribute the amount you want, when you want, which means more flexibility for you, especially approaching tax time. In contrast with DIY funds, all of the administration tasks are taken care of by Cbus, meaning you can focus 100% on running your business.
Cbus Self-Employed gives you:
-
Access to 24-hour-a-day Death and Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) insurance cover;
-
Access to your account balance online, with Cbus' SuperSite;
-
The opportunity to select from a range of investment options to suit your level of investment risk;
