About the Chant West Super Fund Awards
Showcasing best practice in the super industry
Our 13th annual superannuation and pension awards will celebrate Australia’s best funds at a black tie event at the Hyatt Regency, Sydney, on Wednesday 21 May 2025.
The Chant West Super Fund Awards recognise excellence across 14 award categories, including the newest award category, Best Fund: Digital Advice. Tickets are now on sale so secure your spot today.
The awards showcase industry best practice to help lift standards across the industry and improve member outcomes, celebrating the achievements of funds for the work they're doing in important areas like investments, member services, advice and insurance.
The theme of this year’s awards is ‘Building a better retirement system'.
Australia has a world-class superannuation system for accumulation, but what’s required to move towards a world class system for retirement? Helping members along the journey into and through retirement is a complex task – doing retirement well is much harder than doing accumulation well. As an industry, we need to evolve to do this better - from a superannuation system to a retirement system. We need to build better retiree education and tools, more accessible and targeted financial advice and guidance, and fit-for-purpose retirement products and investments that are tailored for retirees.
This year’s awards will celebrate those funds which are embracing the necessary innovation, critical thinking and change required to ensure more Australians enjoy a financially secure retirement.
We're proud to have the continuing support of AIA Australia* as our major sponsor, and look forward to Mary Delahunty, CEO of ASFA, joining us as MC and guest speaker for the night. This year, we're pleased to welcome a new awards sponsor, specialist law firm, Gilbert + Tobin.
