Sunsuper shines at dawn of choice
Publicly offered superannuation fund SunSuper is pushing its credentials on the eve of fund choice, boasting of a positive rating from a research house, and a series of corporate super roll-ins.
Independent research house Chant West has assigned the Brisbane-based fund a ‘5 Apples’ rating, the highest possible from the group.
It is based on an analysis of Sunsuper’s organisational strength, investments, fees, insurance, administration, employer services and member services.
Sunsuper’s offering to companies wishing to outsource super, SunSuper Corporate, has grown to $740 million on the back of $285 million of roll-ins during the last three months, adding 9000 members to take the fund’s total membership above 750,000.
SunSuper also runs its own dealer group, SUNAdvice, staffed with seven fee-for-service planners.
