Australia’s largest superannuation fund, AustralianSuper, has emerged as the top-rated personal product in the latest six-monthly Heron Partnership ratings.
MLC MasterKey Business Super has emerged as the top-rated corporate product.
The latest ratings, released to Super Review in early February, covered 146 superannuation products, including 121 personal products (comprising 62 industry funds and 59 master trusts) and 25 master trust and industry fund products specifically designed for the corporate superannuation market.
Commenting on the research outcome, Heron Partnership managing director Chris Butler noted it was the first time that AustralianSuper had been judged as the top-rated product.
“Although AustralianSuper has achieved 5 Star status at every half-yearly assessment since we commenced public ratings in 2006, this is the first occasion that AustralianSuper has been judged as a Top Rated Product,” he said.
However, Butler said it was the fourth consecutive occasion that MLC MasterKey Business Super had been judged as the Top Rated Product within the Corporate superannuation division.
The corporate watchdog is preparing to publish a progress report on private credit this September, following a comprehensive review of the rapidly expanding market.
The fund has appointed Fotine Kotsilas as its new chief risk officer, continuing a series of executive changes aimed at driving growth, but NGS Super’s CEO has assured the fund won’t pursue growth for growth’s sake.
AMP Super has taken a strategic stake in Atmos Renewables, funding major battery and wind farm projects to boost Australia’s clean energy transition.
The major superannuation fund is facing legal action from ASIC after allegedly failing to inform the regulator about investigations into serious member service issues.
