The Australian Eligible Rollover Fund is an eligible rollover fund (ERF) registered with the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
The Fund can accept member benefits from other super funds for people who may have lost contact with that fund or are no longer eligible for membership of that fund. All super funds are required by law to nominate an ERF to hold the balances of their lost or ineligible members.
The Fund is intended to be a temporary repository for transferred superannuation benefits, with the expectation that members will eventually find their lost superannuation and transfer their balance to their main super account.
