TWUSuper has announced that it has retained Mercer Investment Consulting to assist in a full review of the fund’s investment strategies and policies in a process that is likely to extend over a number of months.
TWUSuper chief investment officer said the review would be looking in particular at alternative investment strategies, but would also examine investment objectives, strategic asset allocations and manager configurations.
“The investment review will involve the consideration of new asset classes and alternative investment strategies, and it is likely to result in a number of changes to the current investment structure,” he said.
“Our aim is to continue to deliver competitive returns to our members on a low cost basis and we want to ensure our investment structure best reflects these objectives,” Killen said.
