Download now: The 2026/27 Epic Retirement Tick Report

The Epic Retirement Tick, powered by Chant West, provides a clear, carefully evaluated benchmark showing which super funds are meeting a high standard in supporting Australians as they approach and move through retirement — not just while they’re accumulating super. It’s designed to help people understand what “good” retirement support looks like and ask better questions of their super fund.

For 2026/27, Chant West independently assessed Australian regulated super funds against 20 criteria spanning retirement products and investments, advice and guidance, education, tools and service delivery. The standard has also been raised this year, with funds required to meet at least 14 of the 20 criteria to receive the Epic Retirement Tick.

The Epic Retirement Tick is designed to evolve alongside the retirement system.

Each year, the assessment criteria are independently reviewed and updated to reflect legislative changes, industry developments and emerging best practice. As a result, reports from different years should be viewed within the context of the criteria that applied at the time.
