The Conexus Financial Superannuation Awards embrace the input of a committee of key industry stakeholders, who bring independent and varied views to the process of assessing the key aspects of a superannuation fund’s operations, and whose expertise is integral to identifying the best funds.
For the second year in a row, Nick Sherry, chairman of FNZ APAC, former Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law and former senator for Tasmania will chair the Conexus Financial Superannuation Awards selection committee.
