Richard Nunn has stepped into his new role as Statewide's chief executive at the right time with figures showing Statewide's MySuper product returning 2.48 per cent above the median, according to the fund.
The industry fund said, according to Chant West, it ranked in the top three funds for investment returns in 2015.
Its MySuper product returned 8.28 per cent, well above the 2015 of 5.8 per cent, the fund said.
Nunn said the strong investment returns demonstrated the exceptional value offered by Statewide.
