Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment decisions at Macquarie Superannuation Plan?

The trustee board, chaired by John Edstein through Macquarie Investment Management Limited, oversees all investment decisions. Day-to-day portfolio construction is handled by Macquarie's wealth management division under Sean West. The plan does not employ a dedicated internal investment team separate from the Macquarie Group infrastructure, relying instead on the parent company's asset management capabilities for manager selection, due diligence, and monitoring.

How is Macquarie Superannuation Plan related to Macquarie Group?

Macquarie Superannuation Plan is the corporate superannuation fund for Macquarie Group employees in Australia. Macquarie Investment Management Limited acts as trustee, and Macquarie Group serves as both the plan sponsor and the primary provider of investment products available to plan members. This makes the plan structurally different from an independent super fund — its investment menu overlaps heavily with Macquarie-managed funds and co-investment opportunities.

Does Macquarie Superannuation Plan invest directly or through external managers?

The plan invests primarily through Macquarie-managed vehicles and co-investment platforms, given the parent company's position as one of the world's largest infrastructure and real-asset managers. The trustee board retains discretion to select external managers, and public disclosures indicate periodic benchmarking against third-party options to ensure arm's-length terms on related-party transactions. Direct co-investments in infrastructure and real estate are common, mirroring Macquarie Asset Management's institutional client model.
