Newly merged fund Energy Super has reaffirmed its connection to the Industry Super Network (ISN) by joining its joint marketing campaign.
According to Energy Super chairman Bob Henricks, the move is part of the fund’s plan to retain existing members, attract new members and bolster funds under management.
Energy Super was formed on 1 April this year from the merger of ESI Super and SPEC Super, which was previously involved in the joint marketing campaign.
“Energy Super and the Industry Super Network … share the same philosophies and principles, and we look forward to working together to promote the benefits of industry super funds and advocating on behalf of our members,” Henricks said.
ISN deputy chief executive Alison McIvor said she welcome Energy Super to the fold, as it would further enhance the ISN’s ability to advance the sector and interests of industry super fund members.
Energy Super is a $3.8 billion industry super fund with 45,000 members.
The superannuation industry will be judged by its member services rather than how effectively it accumulates wealth, according to Stephen Jones.
The profit-to-member super funds are officially operating as a merged entity, set to serve over half a million members.
