(June-2004) Unclaimed Ansett super goes to Ausfund
The collapse of Ansett Airlines and the long, drawn-out battle over superannuation entitlements had its corollary in May with around $65 million in unclaimed funds being transferred to AUSfund.
AUSfund chief executive David Haynes says that while most former Ansett employees have claimed their superannuation monies, the Ansett Australia superannuation funds for ground staff and flight attendants have transferred the remaining $65 million.
He says this money represents the accounts of around 2000 former employees who haven’t responded to their former fund attempts to contact them.
Haynes claims AUSfund is the only eligible rollover fund to actively seek to reunite members with their unclaimed super and this had been the key to its selection by the trustees of the Ansett super funds.
“We will actively search to find the former members of Ansett Super Fund who may have changed their names, address and their funds,” he says.
Haynes says AUSfund has repatriated more than $150 million to its right owners over the past two years.

A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
