Ross Martin, CEO of Media Super says this is a significant appointment for Media Super and signals our growth within the industry fund sector.

He says, “Glass brings to us a wealth of experience in the financial services industry having served in the asset consulting, stock broking and funds management sectors for over 25 years. Most recently he was a director of FineAnswers, his own Sydney-based investment advisory company.”

Meanwhile, Gerard Noonan, chairman of Media Super says Glass will play an important role taking a hands-on approach to implementing and reviewing the fund’s investment strategies.

Noonan says, “Media Super has just marked its first anniversary following the merger of our two funds and we are in a solid position to manage the superannuation investments of our members.”

Noonan continues that the past 12 months have also been a growth period for Media Super with an average of 1,000 new members joining the fund each month.

He adds, “Given the current ongoing economic climate, Media Super, like other funds, is facing challenging times.”

Media Super, with 115,000 members in the printing, media, arts and entertainment industries, has members’ funds approaching $2.5bn.
