UniSuper chief executive Terry McCredden has announced he will step down as head of the fund later in 2013.
McCredden's five-year contract ends in July although he will stay on until September to facilitate the smooth transition to Stronger Super and a new chief executive, who will be recruited through a specialist sub-committee of the board, according to UniSuper chairman Chris Cuffe.
"Terry has led the organisation with distinction over the past five years, growing its assets under management by around $10 billion; effecting significant changes to the organisation's capability and culture, systems and processes; and responding to a range of challenges, including regulatory change," he said.
Cuffe also commended McCredden for the enhancements to UniSuper's financial planning arm.
