LGsuper has received Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) approval to offer a default superannuation product when MySuper is implemented next year.
MySuper products will roll out mid-year; however, the fund will launch its new default option on 1 January 2014.
LGsuper said strong governance and cost-effectiveness were hallmarks of its approval.
"We're committed to delivering strong investment returns and a simple fee structure so you enjoy excellent value and more money in retirement," it said.
The fund said MySuper was simply an extension of its strategy.
"LGsuper's successful application for a MySuper licence highlights APRA's confidence in our fund's ability to offer a value-for-money default product for members," it said.
"It also means our employers are assured they can meet the Government's requirements to make contributions into a MySuper product."
A former property developer has been sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment for defrauding super investment funds, ASIC has confirmed.
The government wants greater transparency over super fund offerings and member outcomes in retirement phase at both an individual trustee and industry level.
AMP has reported a stable half-year result in superannuation, with improving cash flows and solid support from platforms and banking.
Implementing an unlimited non-concessional contributions cap for taxpayers with superannuation balances below $1 million would make the system more equitable, the accounting firm says.
