ART Chair to step down

The Chair of Australian Retirement Trust (ART), Andrew Fraser, has announced he will be stepping down from the role at the super fund’s next Annual Member Meeting in November.

Coming up on 10 years in the role, Fraser said this was the “right time” to transition out of ART and make way for another to take the helm ahead of the fund’s next period of transformation.

“It’s been an honour to serve our members, dating back to the Sunsuper days prior to the merger that created Australian Retirement Trust,” Fraser said.

“I am proud of everyone who contributed to the project to create ART, and am honoured to have played a role to establish ART. ART is, and will be, an enduring force for good – for our members, for the industry and the nation.”

A statement from ART confirmed Deputy CEO, Beth Mohle, would spearhead the search for the fund’s next Chair, ahead of their introduction to members at the meeting on 20 November.

“ART is in such a strong place as a result of Andrew’s guidance, vision and efforts, and he will be greatly missed,” Mohle said.

“Andrew will leave a legacy of unwavering commitment to the service of working Australians and the stewardship of their collective retirement savings to provide financial dignity and security in retirement.”
