Benchmarking
SuperRatings’ complete benchmarking report is viewed by clients as an essential tool in the ever changing market of superannuation. Our benchmarking report analyses over 300 areas of each fund and compares all key areas of funds including qualitative and quantitative assessment of investments, administration services, costs, accounting ratios governance, member services, employer services, education and insurance structures. Our database for 2005 covers over 100 of Australia’s largest funds and we have a number of client testimonials from both the commercial MasterTrust Sector and the Not for Profit Sector as to the value of this tailored form of reporting.

The ultimate aim is to create a “Value for Money” measurement. This is achieved through the benchmarking of offerings. Importantly, this process is an ongoing peer-review service which means that at any point in time funds can be aware of their strengths and weaknesses through our well regarded Benchmarking Service.

Tender Management For Administration And Insurance Services

Independence is critical when seeking assistance with the selection of a potential supplier. With almost 25 years experience in administration and superannuation consulting, Jeff Bresnahan is well placed to assist Funds with reviews.

Over the past twelve months SuperRatings has conducted major site visits to many of Australia’s major fund administrators and have intricate knowledge of each supplier’s capabilities. Add to this our statistical research surrounding service benchmarks, website access, website functionality, systems integration and underlying fund costs (not just PDS disclosure), and SuperRatings has a sound platform with which to assist funds with their review.

In a similar vein, SuperRatings has research covering all major fund insurance structures, including the use of composite rates, age based rates, gender rates and occupational ratings. Add to this our knowledge of the range of terms and conditions within the industry and we can assist funds with attaining what they want rather than what’s on offer.

All work is undertaken on a fixed fee basis which is negotiated and agreed upon before any project is commenced.

Strategic Fund Reviews

SuperRatings has in recent months assisted a number of funds with formulating strategies to ensure competitiveness in this increasingly aggressive market. Our assistance has been at half-day, full day and off-site planning meetings for either fund executives and/or Trustee Directors. We can review Business Plans and comment on product development as well as simply help you identify key differentiators within your offering.

With a sound knowledge of most products on the market, SuperRatings can assist and comment on product positioning, pricing, services and just about any aspect of your fund. Projects are fully discussed and agreed upon so that both sides have a clear and agreed outcome in place. If your staff are out there trying to collect data on competitors’ offerings, maybe its time you contacted SuperRatings to discuss just how we can assist.
