Equip Super and Apex Group has announced that Equip Super has selected Apex Group as its long-term superannuation administration services partner.
Equip Super has been focused for some time on shaping a future administration ecosystem that will strengthen the fund’s strategic position and deliver an enhanced experience for members, employers and other stakeholders. As part of this work, Equip Super undertook a detailed market assessment to identify which partners were best positioned to help bring this vision to life.
“After an extensive review, we’re pleased to enter into partnership with Apex Group,” said Equip Super Chair, Michael Cameron. “Apex Group is well-positioned to support us in bringing our long-term strategy to life, and delivering the next evolution of experience for our 140,000 strong membership and their employers. This first stage will see us working closely with Apex to ensure the transition is well-executed and lays the foundation for achieving meaningful benefits for our members into the long-term.”
Following the comprehensive process, Equip Super selected Apex Group based on its strong alignment with the fund’s preferred operating model, their platform’s ability to administer Equip Super members and employers, the opportunity for digital uplift, and the scale and ambition required to support future growth and innovation.
Apex Group welcomed the partnership and the opportunity to support Equip Super’s administration transformation. “We’re pleased to partner with Equip Super as their service provider. Our combination of market‑leading technology and high‑quality support will give members and employers improved systems, smoother processes and a stronger service experience. We look forward to working with them to drive future growth and innovation,” said Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group.
Detailed transition planning will take place and it is expected that all members, employers and third-party partners will be fully transitioned to Apex Group’s platform by late 2027.
Equip Super is working closely with both its current administrator, Mercer, and Apex Group to ensure a smooth, well-managed transition that maintains continuity of service for members and employers throughout. The fund will continue to keep all stakeholders updated as the transition program advances.
