REST Superannuation has changed its name to REST Industry Super, in a move the fund said is designed to reflect its standing as an industry super fund.
The fund also wanted to remind its members of its industry fund heritage and the benefits that brings. In the wake of recent research not all REST members were completely aware of their fund’s heritage.
REST Industry Super chief executive Damian Hill said he hoped the change would increase awareness of the fund’s status as Australia’s largest industry super fund by membership, and the benefits this brings.
“REST, which operates as a benefit-to-members fund, offers all Australians a range of benefits, including low fees, investment choices and sound financial returns that ensure their best interests and long-term financial security are cared for,” he said.

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.
