PLUM Financial Services has won one of the largest master trust outsourcing deals in history, with Boral Superannuation deciding to roll its assets of $430 million into the MLC part-owned company.
Plum says this pushes its funds under administration to $2.4 billion and further entrenches it as a key player at the large end of the corporate master trust market.
In the last 12 months, Plum’s business has doubled, and it now sports 43 clients from a wide range of industries.
Plum won the contract amid stiff competition from five other tenderers: BT, Colonial, William M Mercer, Towers Perrin and Deutsche Bank. MLC, which has a stake in Plum, via a joint venture with the Vanguard group, has won the right to provide asset consulting advice after being appointed as the implemented consultant.
“Plum and MLC Implemented Consulting will work together as one team in providing Boral’s superannuation funds with asset allocation advice, manager selection and implementation, administration and service to members,” MLC Implemented consulting head of asset consulting Paul Ireland says.
Boral will be outsourcing two funds to Plum: an accumulation fund with 10,000 members and a defined benefit fund covering a further 400 members.
Australia’s second-largest super fund has confirmed it is expanding its presence in the UK following significant investment in the region.
A member of the super fund has approached ASIC to investigate potentially misleading or deceptive representations by UniSuper regarding the holdings of its sustainable portfolios.
The median growth fund delivered 1.9 per cent in March, adding to the “stunning” rally that has seen super funds gain 11 per cent since November.
Vanguard has affirmed its support for the current super performance test, emphasising the importance of keeping the process straightforward.
I am trying to find my lost Boral Super.
Hi I used to work for Origin Energy Retail. I spoke to HR this Morning as I am trying to locate my lost Super. They said the Name of the fund is:
"Boral Superannuation defined benefit Scheme for Employees". Human Resources told me they closed in 2007. According to My Gov I have a fund however I can't locate it anywhere. Please can you help me.
Kind regards,
