Specialist Super Trustee Expertise
We specialise in providing first-class independent superannuation trustee services to superannuation funds regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
When we say we are independent, we mean that we are not an investment manager, nor an administrator, nor an insurer, nor a financial advisor. We are purely a specialist Office of the Trustee operation, ensuring that your superannuation fund complies with all governance and regulatory processes and requirements at a best practice level.
Significantly, our independence also enables us to make decisions regarding your superannuation fund in a detached and objective way in selecting and managing the optimal mix of service providers to help protect and advance superannuation fund members’ best financial interests.
