Super Plan Most Innovative

The New Zealand Superannuation Fund has been named the world’s most innovative sovereign fund, winning the prestigious Sovereign Wealth Fund category in the 2012 aiCIO Industry Innovation Awards in New York. Chairman Gavin Walker said the award recognised the Fund’s transparency, consensus-based decision-making and a shift away from a traditional asset allocation ‘bucket’ approach to investing. “It’s great as a New Zealand organisation to compete with global peers and win,” Walker said.
