Superannuation administrator, Link group has retained a key mandate with legalsuper announcing that it would be extending what has already been a 15-year association with the administration company.
Confirming the move, legalsuper chief executive, Andrew Proebstl said the reappointment had followed a rigorous competitive review which had had covered organisational strength, technology infrastructure, pricing and compliance.
He said the review process had been assisted by consultancy KPMG.
