The super fund options with the performances that prove best on a quantitative basis, as determined by leading global data company FE-Fundinfo, will be recognised for the first time at the Super Review Super Fund of the Year Awards.
In addition to the categories judged by the magazine and its research partner, the Heron Partnership, this year’s gala event would see the introduction of performance-based categories judged on a quantitative basis by the data company, which was also Super Review’s parent company.
The introduction of these categories came as quantitatively-measured returns are increasingly put under the spotlight in the superannuation industry, both amongst discussions of performance data accessibility and investment decisions being made in members’ best interests and in the aftermath of the Productivity Commission’s controversial ‘top 10’ default list recommendation.
These awards would give super funds an opportunity to see how their options stack up objectively against the rest of the industry, and award those who are delivering the strongest returns for members.
