AustralianSuper, the largest superannuation fund in Australia, has incurred a significant financial loss, writing off more than $1.1 billion in equity and loans related to the American tech firm Pluralsight. This marks the fund's single worst investment in venture capital. The write-down occurred after private credit lenders agreed to take ownership of Pluralsight. Despite this setback, AustralianSuper remains committed to investing in venture capital and private equity.
