AMP Capital has announced that UniSuper will purchase 33.33 per cent of Karrinyup Shopping Centre in Perth from Westfield Group and Westfield Retail Trust joint venture, WestART Trust.
AMP Capital will continue to manage the centre but does not own any equity.
A strategic review of the centre led to the decision to implement a simplification of the ownership structure for its two unit holders, which are both interested in owning 100 per cent of the asset.
A price has been determined, with the sale expected to take place later in the week.
UniSuper is one of AMP Capital's key clients for its separate accounts business, which manages over $7.8 billion on behalf of Australian and international institutional clients.
A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
