Aware Super has been named Super Fund of the Year and Pension Fund of the Year at this year’s Chant West Awards.
Aware Super scooped four wins in total, including the award for Best Fund: Member Services, and Best Fund: Insurance.
The Chant West Super Fund Awards celebrate excellence across 14 categories, showcasing industry best practice to help lift standards across the industry, celebrating the achievements of funds for their work in the important areas of investments, member services, advice and insurance. The awards also play an important role in encouraging ongoing improvement across the sector, with the ultimate goal of delivering better outcomes for members.

Chant West general manager Ian Fryer says after many years of having a bespoke theme for each year’s awards – which put the spotlight on a key priority or challenge within the industry – Chant West decided not to have a specific theme this year.
“We believe this decision allows each of the 14 categories to have their respective moment in the spotlight, and rightly focus on the individual criteria that underpins each award, without elevating one above another,” Fryer says.
“Highlighting excellence in all 14 categories is important if Australia’s super system is to continue to thrive.”
Fryer says Australia’s retirement saving system is regarded as one of the best in the world.
“The Chant West awards highlight the innovation and excellence at play in the sector, which will help ensure it continues to remain focused on delivering better retirement outcomes for all members.”
