Newly merged fund Energy Super has reaffirmed its connection to the Industry Super Network (ISN) by joining its joint marketing campaign.
According to Energy Super chairman Bob Henricks, the move is part of the fund’s plan to retain existing members, attract new members and bolster funds under management.

“Energy Super and the Industry Super Network … share the same philosophies and principles, and we look forward to working together to promote the benefits of industry super funds and advocating on behalf of our members,” Henricks said.
ISN deputy chief executive Alison McIvor said she welcome Energy Super to the fold, as it would further enhance the ISN’s ability to advance the sector and interests of industry super fund members.
