I am delighted to confirm that following an independent analysis, AvSuper has been awarded a SelectingSuper AAA Quality Rating.

A SelectingSuper Fund Quality Assessment Rating is a review of a super fund’s quality. It is an independent stamp of approval by one of Australia’s leading financial services research companies, Rainmaker Information. The rating is a detailed analysis of AvSuper’s operation and management and offers both employers and members an external reference for the overall quality of the Fund.

To achieve the AAA standard, AvSuper demonstrated to SelectingSuper that it is an exceptional quality super fund. This means passing a comprehensive range of “best practice” measures and benchmarks ranging from the organisation running the fund, to administration, communications, investment mix and extra services.

AvSuper has always sought to provide outstanding service to members and the SelectingSuper AAA Quality Rating reflects our dedication to serving the retirement savings needs of AvSuper members.
