Brighter Super head of listed equities and ESG Fiona Mann was shaped by a childhood steeped in military-like discipline and global nomadism. Andrew McKean writes.
A fund for motor mechanics and people who assemble cars comes last - no surprise there! (Well maybe that a fund for health sector employees didn't do worse.)
The vast majority of the criteria were stacked against industry funds. Unisuper probably only did well as most academics have a base salary of just over $100k.
Industry funds were also never going to do well in the criteria of the members acquired through switching or sold via planners...
Industry Super Funds are never going to do well in a survey that rates platforms fairly, MTAA and Australian Super have both increased risk insurance premiums 40% plus recently. Industry Super Funds can boast that they are CHEAP ! they should also add nasty.
