News
10 September 2021 4 min read

Following the Heads of Agreement to pursue a merger and the announcement of a CEO and Board to oversee the merged fund, Bernard Reilly, CEO of the merged fund, has announced appointments to the executive team.

Who has been appointed to the merged fund’s executive team?

You can read about the executive team here.

The appointed executives have the right mix of expertise and experience to deliver outstanding services, greater efficiencies and lower costs for the merged fund’s 2 million members and their $200 billion in retirement savings.

When will the appointments take effect?

The Chief People Officer and Chief Financial Officer have already commenced in their roles to work on the integration planning phase of the merger.

All other appointments to the merged fund’s executive team will be effective from the merger date.

Until the merger date, executives at both funds will continue in their existing roles, delivering for our members, and working on the integration planning phase of the merger as needed.

What will the merged fund’s investment philosophy, strategy and options be?

There is no immediate change to the investment philosophies, strategies or options of QSuper and Sunsuper as a result of this announcement. Both QSuper and Sunsuper have delivered strong, long-term returns for members.

What will be the merged fund’s approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues?

Both funds’ investment strategies include a commitment to aligning our investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050 on the basis that it will promote members’ financial interests. The merged fund’s approach to ESG will be one of the key areas of focus for the appointed Chief Investment Officer.
