ART announces chair departure
The super fund has confirmed its chair Andrew Fraser plans to retire at its upcoming annual member meeting in November.
Fraser first joined Sunsuper as an independent director in September 2015, serving as chair of the investment committee before taking up the role of chair in February 2018.
Shortly after the fund’s merger with QSuper to create Australian Retirement Trust (ART) and the retirement of the foundation chair of ART, Don Luke, Fraser took up the role of chair in October 2022.
Now, following 10 years with the super fund, Fraser has decided to step down, stating that it is “the right time to begin a transition to enable ART to continue its trajectory of success”.
“It’s been an honour to serve our members, dating back to the Sunsuper days prior to the merger that created Australian Retirement Trust,” Fraser added.
“I am proud of everyone who contributed to the project to create ART, and am honoured to have played a role to establish ART.
“ART is, and will be, an enduring force for good – for our members, for the industry and the nation.”
Beth Mohle AM, deputy chair of ART, is set to oversee the process of selecting a new chair, who will be introduced to members at the annual member meeting on 20 November 2025.
Mohle thanked Fraser for his dedicated service to ART’s 2.4 million members.
“ART is in such a strong place as a result of Andrew’s guidance, vision and efforts, and he will be greatly missed,” she said.
“Andrew will leave a legacy of unwavering commitment to the service of working Australians and the stewardship of their collective retirement savings to provide financial dignity and security in retirement.”

IFM Investors has urged for government-industry collaboration to accelerate projects, unlock capital, and deliver long-term returns for Australians.
With super funds turning increasingly to private credit to lift returns, experts have cautioned that the high-yield asset class carries hidden risks that are often misunderstood.
Australia’s superannuation sector is being held back by overlapping and outdated regulation, ASFA says, with compliance costs almost doubling in seven years – a drain on member returns and the economy alike.
Two of Australia’s largest industry super funds have thrown their support behind an ASIC review into how stamp duty is disclosed in investment fee reporting, saying it could unlock more capital for housing projects.
