South Australian government superannuation fund Super SA has appointed former Elders Financial Planning regional manager Allan Ward as senior manager of advice.

He also held practice and business development roles with ING and CBA. In his new position, Ward says that, in this role, he will be responsible for leading "a multichannel advice strategy, liaising with our financial planners. I have the privilege of helping build and implement various advice options that members can access throughout their financial journey."
