Sunsuper has also launched new building signage over North Sydney in a bid to attract more business in NSW.

Sunsuper general manager business growth Craig Godfrey said: "The launch of our new ‘shop-front' and the appointment of two new business development managers to the larger team in this market reinforces that Sunsuper is making its mark in Sydney and is continuing to build on the growth we've seen over the last eight months".

Last September, Sunsuper announced it had achieved 15 per cent growth on the previous year's funds under management (FUM) growing FUM to $20 billion. It managed to grow its member base by 11,000 and default arrangements by 12,000 employers over the 12 months to October last year, attracting 94 per cent through its online employer portal.
