Sunsuper named Super Fund of the Year
Sunsuper has taken out the Super Review/Heron Partnership Superannuation Fund of the Year Award at a gala in Melbourne overnight.
In a closely-run race with AustralianSuper, the Queensland-based fund was named the winner based on its rapid rate of growth and enhancements it had made to its product offering over the past two years.
The Heron Partnership attributed the win to Sunsuper having “delivered an excellent total package”.
