(April-2002) Plum lands Boral outsourcing deal
PLUM Financial Services has won one of the largest master trust outsourcing deals in history, with Boral Superannuation deciding to roll its assets of $430 million into the MLC part-owned company.
Plum says this pushes its funds under administration to $2.4 billion and further entrenches it as a key player at the large end of the corporate master trust market.
In the last 12 months, Plum’s business has doubled, and it now sports 43 clients from a wide range of industries.
Plum won the contract amid stiff competition from five other tenderers: BT, Colonial, William M Mercer, Towers Perrin and Deutsche Bank. MLC, which has a stake in Plum, via a joint venture with the Vanguard group, has won the right to provide asset consulting advice after being appointed as the implemented consultant.
“Plum and MLC Implemented Consulting will work together as one team in providing Boral’s superannuation funds with asset allocation advice, manager selection and implementation, administration and service to members,” MLC Implemented consulting head of asset consulting Paul Ireland says.
Boral will be outsourcing two funds to Plum: an accumulation fund with 10,000 members and a defined benefit fund covering a further 400 members.

The corporate regulator has launched civil proceedings against Equity Trustees over its inclusion of the Shield Master Fund on super platforms it hosted, but other trustees could also be in the firing line.
The shadow minister for financial services says reworking the superannuation performance test to allow investment in house and clean energy risks turning super into a ‘slush fund’ for government.
Australia’s superannuation sector has expanded strongly over the June quarter, with assets, contributions, and benefit payments all recording notable increases.
The Super Members Council (SMC) has called on the government to urgently legislate payday super, warning that delays will further undermine the retirement savings of Australian women.

"Boral Superannuation defined benefit Scheme for Employees". Human Resources told me they closed in 2007. According to My Gov I have a fund however I can't locate it anywhere. Please can you help me.
