Media Super investment managers
Media Super uses Australian and international investment managers, and also manages some assets internally.
Each investment manager is responsible for a specified amount of Media Super assets. They are managed with an agreed mandate between the manager and the Trustee, in consultation with the investment adviser.
During the year, we monitor the performance of investment managers closely and compare it with industry benchmarks.
