Wednesday, 6th May, 2010.
Asset Super, following a recommendation from its asset consultant, Mercer, recently approved an increase in its exposure to unlisted property investments.
In May 2010 Asset allocated $8 million into Lend Lease’s APPF Industrial Fund, a wholesale industrial property fund currently operating within Australia.
Asset has also increased its investment in the Lend Lease “Australian Premium Property Fund (APPF) - Retail Fund by $8 million. This latest investment is in addition to just over $11 million that was previously allocated to this investment in December 2008 and now means that the fund has almost $20 million in this APPF Retail Fund product.
CEO, John Paul, said “that these two latest property investments bring the total unlisted property exposure of the fund to almost $28 million”.

Asset’s new web focus
Tuesday, 26th May, 2009.
Asset has recently introduced a new website as part of its strategy to help both members and employers take control of their superannuation arrangements.
‘In times of uncertainty, it is vital that members and employers feel that they are in control of their super arrangements.’ says John Paul, Chief Executive Officer at Asset Super. ‘Convenient access to information and tools is now only a click away and is right there, 24 hours a day seven days a week.
Asset’s new website provides improved access to information through simple menu structures and navigation options. Asset has a library of publications, factsheets & forms that can be accessed and downloaded straight from the site. Calculators and the inclusion of external links, add a depth and value to the information available.
As in the past, members and employers can easily and securely access their superannuation details direct from the site if they have registered for online MemberAccess or EmployerAccess.
‘We will continue to develop cost effective and timely ways for members to easily and securely access their personal details as well as general information about their super. Now, this secure access combined with the strong information support on the Asset website make a great package for members and employers.’ Says Paul.
