Sunsuper will appoint Michael Traill and Andrew Fraser as independent directors. However, CEO Scott Hartley opposes the Australian Government’s proposal to require one-third of super fund’s boards – including the chairman – to be independent. In contrast, outgoing chief investment officer David Hartley favours the push for greater independence of directors. He notes that industry super funds with equal representation by employers and employees have tended deliver good returns.
