Australian Catholic Super is expected to announce that it has switched its asset consulting mandate after conducting a review of service providers.
The superannuation fund has been a client of Willis Towers Watson for the past five years and undertook a review of providers via Chant West earlier this year.
Super Review understands that Frontier Investment Consulting is the front-runner for the mandate, albeit that the appointment has not yet been formally announced.
The research house has offered a silver lining after super fund returns saw the end of a five-month streak last month.
A survey of almost 6,000 fund members has identified weakening retirement confidence, particularly among those under 55 years of age, signalling an opportunity for super funds to better engage with members on their retirement journey.
The funds have confirmed the signing of a successor fund transfer deed, moving closer to creating a new $29 billion entity.
A number of measures, including super on Paid Parental Leave, funding to recover unpaid super, and frameworks to encourage investment in the energy transition, have been welcomed by the superannuation industry.
