Chant West has secured insurance group AIA Australia as its major sponsor for the third annual Chant West Super Fund Awards, to be held at a black-tie dinner at Sydney’s Ivy Ballroom on May 6.
Chant West director, Andrea West, says: “AIA Australia is one of the country’s leading life insurers. They have a long history of partnering with superannuation funds to tailor solutions that focus on caring for members. This focus on fund members was a major attraction for us in deciding to partner with AIA Australia for our awards evening.
Damien Mu, AIA Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, says: “We are delighted to be partnering with Chant West to promote these superannuation awards and share their vision of recognising excellence in the industry.
“Despite the significant challenges facing superannuation funds over the past twelve months, we are seeing a number of success stories and innovations that need to be recognised. We look forward to supporting this important event.”
