Simplifying superannuation and boosting member engagement will be a priority for Prime Super.
Following its merger with Health Industry Plan last year, Prime Super chief executive, Lachlan Baird, said the brand was focused on improving retirement outcomes for members by cutting jargon and complexity.
Baird said the fund's new "surprisingly straightforward" brand incorporated key elements of its past, while striving for a "bright and successful future".
"We know that superannuation can be complex and difficult to understand at times, and this is a big driver of member disengagement, which can lead to poor retirement outcomes," he said.
"We came to the decision that we wanted to challenge the status quo. Our aim now is to be a super fund that is defined by less jargon and complexity.
"We want to increase our members' engagement with their retirement savings so that they can set their sights on a successful life after work."
The $9 billion fund is backing agriculture investor GO.FARM, with its capital already directed towards enhancing two key assets.
Brighter Super is considerably scaling down the investment options it offers members in order to reduce costs.
Amid a challenging market environment, three super fund CIOs have warned against ‘jumping at shadows’.
The professional body is calling for the annual performance test to transition to a two-metric test, so it better aligns with the overarching duty of super fund trustees to act in the best financial interests of their members.
