Ian Fryer, general manager at Chant West, said: “In recent times, the government and regulators have raised the bar for super funds with member outcomes assessments, heatmaps and the performance test. And for our 2022 ratings, we have raised the bar on the standard we require for a fund to receive our highest rating of five apples. In this year’s awards we want to highlight those funds that keep raising the bar to drive better outcomes for their members”.
The awards will be held at the Ivy Ballroom in Sydney and sponsored by AIA Australia
