At AvSuper we have been busy assessing potential merger partners as well as making changes to insurance as a result of Hannover exiting the market.
Here is a short video explaining more about the Expression of Interest (EOI) and the insurance changes. You can also read further details below.
EOI Update
We were delighted to receive a strong response to our EOI.
The next step is for the merger committee to assess the proposals and form a short list for the board to review, which we expect to happen in the coming weeks.
We are unable to provide a list of funds as Non-Disclosure Agreements have been signed with each participant. However, we can confirm that the response quality is high, and we will assess each submission on its merits as we consider who and what will best serve our 6000 members in the years ahead.
Insurance change in more detail
AvSuper’s current insurer, Hannover, announced last year that it would be withdrawing from the superannuation market in 2022. The transition to our new insurer, AIA is well progressed and due for completion by the end of the quarter.
