Melbourne-based AustralianSuper and Sydney-based Club Plus Super agreed to work toward a potential merger, the funds said Thursday.
Exploring the benefits of a merger is in the best interests of Club Plus Super's participants, with the A$210 billion ($162 billion) AustralianSuper emerging from a "rigorous process" as the choice to provide the best financial outcomes for them, Stefan Strano, chief executive of Club Plus Super, said in a joint news release.
An AustralianSuper spokesman said there are no timelines for coming to a conclusion regarding whether a merger would be in the interests of both funds' participants.
