TelstraSuper chief executive, Chris Davies announced today that the fund would be transitioning from TAL Life to MLC.

“The new arrangement will allow TelstraSuper to continue our tradition of offering our members beneficial terms and high levels of service, while at the same offering good value for money,” he said.
