REST Superannuation has changed its name to REST Industry Super, in a move the fund said is designed to reflect its standing as an industry super fund.
The fund also wanted to remind its members of its industry fund heritage and the benefits that brings. In the wake of recent research not all REST members were completely aware of their fund’s heritage.
REST Industry Super chief executive Damian Hill said he hoped the change would increase awareness of the fund’s status as Australia’s largest industry super fund by membership, and the benefits this brings.
“REST, which operates as a benefit-to-members fund, offers all Australians a range of benefits, including low fees, investment choices and sound financial returns that ensure their best interests and long-term financial security are cared for,” he said.
Australia’s second-largest super fund has confirmed it is expanding its presence in the UK following significant investment in the region.
A member of the super fund has approached ASIC to investigate potentially misleading or deceptive representations by UniSuper regarding the holdings of its sustainable portfolios.
The median growth fund delivered 1.9 per cent in March, adding to the “stunning” rally that has seen super funds gain 11 per cent since November.
Vanguard has affirmed its support for the current super performance test, emphasising the importance of keeping the process straightforward.
