Real Investors, Real Results: Why Customisation Matters

Earlier this year, we were proud to be recognised at the WeMoney Superannuation Awards 2025, winning Best for Portfolio Customisation. That recognition meant a lot to us — because it's proof that treating every member like an individual investor truly matters.

From the start, our goal with Nucleus Super has been simple: move beyond the pooled “one size fits all” approach and give people the tools to shape their super around what they value most. Months later, as we look back on the award and forward to what’s next, it’s clear that this approach continues to resonate with our members.

Customisation that Fits Real Lives

Our members tell us they want control — but also clarity. That’s why we built Nucleus Super to make personalisation easy without being superficial. The platform’s risk profiling, screening, and tilting tools were designed so that anyone — from first-time investors to seasoned professionals — can build a portfolio that feels genuinely their own.

One investor, Jason, put it simply: Nucleus Wealth “aligns well with my investment thesis” and offers “great customer service.” For him, the experience goes beyond the platform itself — it’s about understanding how each choice connects to a bigger financial story.

Depth Without the Price Penalty

Customisation should be powerful, not pricey. That’s why all Nucleus Super members can access over 70 ethical screens and 75 thematic tilts, letting them filter or focus on areas like technology, health, commodities, or climate change — without paying extra for those choices.

Another member, Richard, told us he loves how the dashboard “allows me to drill all the way down into my investment and view each holding.” That's precisely what we've worked to deliver — not just the ability to customise, but the transparency to see the impact of those choices in real time.

Performance and Transparency Go Hand in Hand

The freedom to personalise shouldn’t come at the expense of results. That’s why we’re proud that the Australian Financial Review recently ranked our Nucleus Growth Fund among the top performers for FY25, with standout returns of 12.1%.

Behind that performance is a focus on transparency and empowerment. Every Nucleus Super portfolio represents direct ownership of individual shares, so members always know exactly what they own — and why.

As Jason also noted, our educational resources like the Nucleus Investment Insights podcast help bring that transparency to life, keeping investors informed and confident in their decisions.

You’re an Individual — Invest Like One

At its core, Nucleus Super is about empowerment. We give you the tools and support to express your values and goals through your super, while we take care of the complexity behind the scenes.

Or as one of our long-time members, David, summed up perfectly:

“The Nucleus Wealth wealth management offering from risk profile assessment and platform asset management is incredibly easy to use. The customer support is responsive and informative and caters to a wide group of investor experience. The service overall has exceeded my expectations and proves the benefits of an active fund manager.”

That balance — between independence and support — is what makes Nucleus Super unique.

So if you haven’t yet explored what your super could look like with Nucleus, there's never been a better time. Build your portfolio in under 15 minutes, explore our screens and tilts, or book a free call with one of our advisers to get started.

Because your super should reflect who you are — and we're here to help you invest like it.
