Hot on the heels of reappointing Frontier Advisors as its asset consultant, NGS Super has recommitted to Mercer as its administrator, following a review of the fund’s administration needs by KPMG.
The review found that Mercer was most aligned to support NGS Super’s strategic objectives, with its technology and service platforms useful for delivering administration and engagement solutions to members.
Mercer managing director and chief executive, Ben Walsh, said that the super fund’s recommitment was “a fantastic endorsement” of Mercer’s people, processes and technology.
“We’re thrilled to continue to help NGS Super on their journey of moving to a future model,” he said.
“Having had the privilege to work in partnership with NGS Super for more than 30 years, nine years of which as their administration partner, we are passionate in helping NGS Super to deliver excellent member retention, engagement and satisfaction.”
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.

Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
Big business has joined the chorus of opposition against the proposed Division 296 tax.
