What a stupid name, worse then the recently branded "Aware Super". So the rev head industry fund and the in-bred industry fund become "Spirit Super"? Then the marketing hyperbole, “What I love about Spirit Super is it captures the energy of what we’re about. It’s fresh and optimistic and innovative — everything we want to be.". Whoever wrote that had a good break next to a chemical plant. Just call in "Inbred rev-head super" and be done with it. A few less financial services jobs in Tassie shortly.
A much better name than MTAA, since its open for anyone. I like it.
I hate it...
Whats that analogy linking a certain orifice to opinions..
