SuperRatings has announced the winners of the Fund of the Year awards, which recognise excellence in the superannuation and retirement industries. The winners were announced at a gala dinner held at Melbourne’s Grand Hyatt.
Also announced is the Pendal Retirement Innovation Award, which recognises those individuals who are supporting the future of the superannuation industry through innovation and leadership.
“The Fund of the Year awards are about recognising those superannuation and pension funds that have gone above and beyond in delivering value and securing the retirement objectives of their members,” said SuperRatings Executive Director Kirby Rappell.
“We would like to congratulate the team at UniSuper for taking home the Fund of the Year Award. Although it was a very tight race, UniSuper has clearly demonstrated their commitment to member value across a range of criteria, including investment performance and fees, member services, financial advice and insurance, and fund governance.”
