Sunsuper named Super Fund of the Year
Sunsuper has taken out the Super Review/Heron Partnership Superannuation Fund of the Year Award at a gala in Melbourne overnight.
In a closely-run race with AustralianSuper, the Queensland-based fund was named the winner based on its rapid rate of growth and enhancements it had made to its product offering over the past two years.
The Heron Partnership attributed the win to Sunsuper having “delivered an excellent total package”.
Money Management’s sister publication, Super Review, named the long-time head of Insight Investment, Margaret Waller, as its first-ever female recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for her contribution to funds management, particularly institutional funds management, over 30 years.
