ART focusses on retirement with new executive hire

Kathy Vincent will move to the Australian Retirement Trust (ART) as chief of retirement in December, as the super fund aims to build its retirement offerings for members.

"Our vision is to be Australia's most chosen and trusted retirement partner, so we are focused on both innovative products such as the Lifetime Pension, and continuously improving our current products and services. An example of this is the enhancements to our Retirement Bonus from 1 July 2023, which will now be a tax-free immediate bonus of 0.50% on eligible transfers to our Retirement Income account or Lifetime Pension," an ART spokesperson told Industry Moves.

Vincent will join ART in the newly created role completing the fund's new executive structure announced in March. She has more than three decades experience in the finance industry across a variety of product, strategy and advice executive roles. She was most recently chief strategy and product officer at BT.

"We are facing into a pivotal time for the superannuation industry, with increasingly more Australians shifting from accumulation into the retirement phase over the coming years and we want to support our 2.2 million members across Australia to retire well with confidence," ART chief executive officer, Bernard Reilly, said.

"Kathy's experience and knowledge of product, strategy and financial advice will be a valuable asset to Australian Retirement Trust and our members."
