National Australia Bank (NAB) has retained its long-standing relationship with Canberra-based fund AvSuper for the provision of master custody and investment reporting services.
The banking group announced this week that it had retained AvSuper’s master custody and investment reporting mandate following a review process that begun in September last year.
Renewal of the mandate was confirmed by AvSuper chief executive Michelle Griffiths, who said the fund was pleased to have agreed to revised commercial terms to continue the relationship.
She said the decision to retain NAB had followed a benchmarking review undertaken by external service provider Brett Elvish.
Dan Farmer, chief investment officer of MLC Asset Management, has detailed how its super fund allocations have evolved and whether the fund will consider investing in bitcoin.
Australia’s superannuation capital has been positioned to play a larger role in south-east Asia’s economic development under a new government-backed deal.
Superannuation funds have become the dominant force behind Australia’s private markets boom, fuelling unprecedented growth and reshaping manager operations.
Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock has said the central bank sees private demand picking up over the next year, taking over from public demand.
