What it does 

In July, Superhero officially launched its superannuation offering, which now has about 2,000 members.


The product allows members to invest their super into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and direct shares, without having to have a self-managed super fund, and is looking to build a Crypto ETF.


“There’s a whole workforce of millennials and younger workers who are embarking on their own wealth creation journeys, and they’re looking for new, tech-savvy ways to do so.Share trading is no longer a space that is reserved for the boomers and the wealthy,” Winters says.
