Australian Ethical has teamed up with technology company, DASH Technology, to offer direct to consumer projections.
DASH, the new name for Wealth02 following mergers with Roar Software and NEO, would provide customised projections in the online superannuation statements and client portal of Australian Ethical super members.
Andrew Whelan, chief executive of DASH, said: “We are delighted to be working with Australian Ethical and take this partnership as a nod to both our modelling prowess as well as our solutions-based approach.
“We are excited to support Australian Ethical's members with our highly flexible and easy to implement solutions, enabling them to seamlessly modify their contributions based on their personal retirement goals.”
He added the merger and name change were part of an effort by the firm to position itself as a best-of-breed solutions provider for the broader wealth industry.
Australian Ethical super had 55,000 members, having launched in 1986 as Australia’s first ethical super fund. It was currently in merger talks with Christian Super to create a combined fund with 100,000 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.
