QSuper achieves platinum rating
10 January 2007
QSuper, the superannuation fund for Queensland Government employees, has recently been awarded a prestigious platinum rating by leading ratings company SuperRatings, Deputy Premier Anna Bligh said today.
SuperRatings award a platinum rating to only the top 15 per cent of more than 240 funds assessed, and to receive this rating a fund must perform well against all of SuperRating’s key assessment areas.
“The Queensland Government has always recognised the importance of providing a high-quality superannuation fund for its workers,” Ms Bligh said.
“With more than 450,000 members and over $21 billion in funds under management, QSuper has long been one of Australia’s leading super funds, and this rating now cements the Fund’s position as one of the best in the country.”
SuperRatings also recently named QSuper’s Accumulation account as its Rising Star for 2006-07, from the group of funds assessed.
Ms Bligh said the award recognised the significant enhancements QSuper has made over the previous 12 months.
“This award acknowledges the commitment QSuper has made to secure the financial future of Queensland Government employees by providing innovative products and services,” Ms Bligh said.
Ms Bligh said the accolades further strengthened QSuper’s reputation as a fund of excellence.
“This is fitting recognition for the hard work and commitment of QSuper staff and I congratulate them on achieving this excellent rating,” Ms Bligh said.
“Queensland Government workers can be confident their retirement savings are in good hands.”
