Commenting on his appointment, Chun said he was excited to lead a dynamic and successful team.
“This is an exciting time for UniSuper and its members. The superannuation sector is changing rapidly, and it is important that funds continue to evolve and adapt,” he said.
“The fund has a uniquely deep relationship with its members; particularly in the higher education sector and UniSuper’s core purpose – to deliver greater retirement outcomes for members – will continue unchanged.
“I am motivated and committed to making impactful change to retirement outcomes for Australians and this role furthers that opportunity for me professionally and personally.”
