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.
Proebstl said legalsuper had sought expressions of interest from six fund administrators but that it had opted for Link on the basis of new arrangements including daily unit pricing and increased transparency and immediacy around member account updates and transition to a new direct investment platform offered by UBS.

ASIC is “considering what options” it has to hold super trustees to account for including the failed schemes on their platforms, according to its deputy chair.
Vanguard Super has reported strong returns across most of its investment options, attributed to a “low-cost, index-based approach”.
The fund has achieved double-digit returns amid market volatility, reinforcing the value of long-term investment strategies for its members.
