Spotlight on Corporate Super Fund Boards
As part of our series that looks at the board make-up of Australia's super funds, we now shine a spotlight on Australia's largest corporate funds. The funds researched retain their own trustee boards. We look at how many have independent directors, the number of female board members and, of that number, how many are also included on the funds' investment committees.
A spotlight report on retail funds will be the last in our series and will culminate in an updated and expanded report amalgamating the research from all sectors of the Australian superannuation industry for comparison.
