Former TAL chief executive, Jim Minto, has been named as the interim chief executive of the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA).
Minto, who was previously chairman of ASFA, has been confirmed in the interim role by ASFA independent chairman, Michael Easson.
He said Minto would become acting CEO from 16 July until the appointment of a permanent CEO.
Easson said the board intended to conclude its thorough selection process by announcing a new CEO on Monday 5th September.
The super fund has significantly grown its membership following the inclusion of Zurich’s OneCare Super policyholders.
Super balances have continued to rise in August, with research showing Australian funds have maintained strong momentum, delivering steady gains for members.
Australian Retirement Trust and State Street Investment Management have entered a partnership to deliver global investment insights and practice strategies to Australian advisers.
CPA Australia is pressing the federal government to impose stricter rules on the naming and marketing of managed investment and superannuation products that claim to be “sustainable”, “ethical”, or “responsible”, warning that vague or untested claims are leaving investors exposed.
