Chant West has announced the final three award finalists for its Super Fund of the Year awards.
This included a new category for 2022, Best Fund: Responsible Investment which sought to find the best fund offering responsible investment to its members.
This included Active Super, Australian Super, Australian Ethical, Aware Super, Cbus, HESTA and UniSuper.
Chant West general manager, Ian Fryer, said: “Fund members want to make more informed decisions when it comes to their super, and this award will help define best practice and highlight those that are genuinely ‘raising the bar’ when it comes to responsible investing”.
In the Best Fund: Integrity section, AustralianSuper, Australian Retirement Trust, Cbus and Colonial First State were nominated. This category would cover those funds which were successfully meeting members’ needs and delivering on their promises.
Finally, Hostplus and TelstraSuper were shortlisted in the Best Fund: Innovation category.
