It said GuildSuper and Child Care Super formed the Guild Retirement Fund and that Metlife had been insuring Child Care Super members since 1998.
Guild Super managing director, Mario Pirone said he believed the extension of the partnership with Metlife would benefit GuildSuper members.
Metlife chief executive officer in Australia, Marc Lieberman said the mandate reflected the company's commitment to bringing long-term value.
