    The winners, including the top Super Fund of the Year Award, will be announced at the annual SuperRatings dinner at the Melbourne Sofitel on Collins, on October 15, after the Day of Confrontation conference at the same venue.

    Nathan MacPhee, SuperRatings’ chief executive, said the degree and pace of change within the superannuation industry, because of both regulatory change as well as market and demographic forces, had put a lot of pressure on trustees and management of the big funds in the past year.

    “You have to take your hat off to them. Our research shows that the finalists, along with many other funds, have performed very well across our assessment categories in what would have been a difficult period.”

    The SuperRatings Awards, now in their 11th year, follow a process-driven assessment system derived from how the research firm rates all funds and their individual investment and insurance products.

    The Day of Confrontation conference, which precedes the Awards, usually attracts about 250 senior industry people. It is noted for speakers and sessions which are aimed at challenging the super fund industry to some ‘outside-the-box’ thinking.
