Professional Associations Super hires former Superpartners head

Frank Gullone has joined Professional Associations Super as chairman of the board of directors.

Gullone headed up super fund administrator Superpartners between 2002 and 2007 and was managing director of the Centre of Investor Information.

Currently managing director of the Gullone Group and a non-executive director for a number of corporations, Gullone has advised executives and boards across Australia's financial landscape and other services, and also advised Government on industry strategy and market growth.

Gullone said he was pleased to join the fund during a period of immense change.

"The super reforms represent great opportunity for the fund, along with its challenges. I look forward to working with the board and chief executive in driving initiatives that will truly connect our membership with their super and future financial security," he said.

He replaces Ross Fisher who founded the fund and has overseen its development for more than two decades. Fisher will remain as an employer representative director until the end of 2013.

In August, Professional Associations Super began restructuring to bring the fund's divisions - Recruitment Super, Accountants Super, Australian Enterprise Super and SMART pension - under the one name and profile to cut down on administration costs and develop a strong brand.

Fisher said in August that the new fund would launch in time for MySuper in order to present a single MySuper offering.

Professionals Association Super oversees approximately $2 billion in funds under management for 420,000 members across its divisions.
