Industry superannuation fund Mine Wealth + Wellbeing has changed its name to Mine Super in a bid to better reflect its heritage and refreshed purpose and vision.
Mine Super chief executive officer, Harry Mitchell, said the fund’s evolution would continue to help members achieve exceptional retirement outcomes.
He said the brand evolution was an important milestone in the execution of Mine Super’s new strategic plan, but that the fund remained “of the mining community and for the mining community”.
“Although we’ve changed our name to Mine Super, our core values remain the same: a commitment to the financial future of our members, and a pledge to have their back.”
The two funds have announced the signing of a non-binding MOU to explore a potential merger.
The board must shift its focus from managing inflation to stimulating the economy with the trimmed mean inflation figure edging closer to the 2.5 per cent target, economists have said.
ASIC chair Joe Longo says superannuation trustees must do more to protect members from misconduct and high-risk schemes.
Super fund mergers are rising, but poor planning during successor fund transfers has left members and employers exposed to serious risks.
