Fixing the massive long-term shortage of affordable housing is an opportunity to create a long-term and relatively trouble-free investment for super fund members while also addressing a pressing social and economic need, a new report finds.

The report also recommends ways to stimulate super fund investments in other important parts of Australia's economy like manufacturing, technology, venture capital, energy transition and agriculture.
