The old adage that it takes a lifetime to build trust and a moment to lose it is never more true than in a world of digital interaction and social media scrutiny. This session draws on academic theory and experiences with the Royal Commission to consider how trust is earned, lost and rebuilt in this interconnected world.

The 2020 Presidential election campaign sparked riots, ideological animosity and tensions across communities. In this keynote session, scrutiny will be applied to the factors that have caused this bifurcation of consensus, what can be done to find common ground and what the legal tussle over the results means for the wider world.

Pension funds around the world are dealing with recessions, volatile markets and heightened unemployment. This fireside conversation explores the global challenges with fiduciary investing as a new era begins.

Lockdowns to mitigate the incidences of communicable disease are a further source of disruption to the physical connections between regions. This session explores the role of fiduciary capital in offering peace, growth and stability to the international community.

The challenges of the last 12 months have been unique in recent memory. The abrupt cessation of economic output, the curtailing of free movement and the strain on mental health are all without direct precedent in Australian history. This session explores the challenges and the learnings from the period and how executives have found solutions to motivating teams, engaging stakeholders during a period of health, financial and societal crisis.

From constraint to catalyst COVID-19, technology and the emergence of “smart relationships”

An intimate discussion that touches on a lifetime of public service and the rewards, frustrations and reflections on chairing the largest industry superannuation fund in the country.

During this session lunch will be delivered to our Chairs for an interactive table discussion using the Remo networking technology.

As Australia is in its first recession in a generation and faces a multitude of challenges to resolve. This session hears from the Liberal and Labor perspectives on the role of regulation, investments and access to superannuation in getting the nation back to work.

With multiple issues influencing the superannuation industry as the nation mitigates the risks posed by the coronavirus, this keynote address will outline the role of APRA in supporting funds through 2021 and in simplifying processes relating to mergers.

The explicit guidance of policy makers has been to encourage mergers across superannuation funds to allow for larger investors to leverage economies of scale that can drive down costs and improve consumer outcomes. In such an environment it would be logical that the regulatory regime supports this desire with appropriate guidance and mechanisms to ease the merging journey. This session explores the best possible backdrop to support those funds that want to merge to achieve this aim smoothly and without the fear of failure.

An intimate discussion that touches on mergers and acquisitions across fund management, the relationship between CEOs and chairs and the future of institutional investing in the decade to come.

Over the last few hundred years the mixed economies of the developed world produced considerable growth for their nations that alleviated poverty. However over the last generation we have seen an increase in inequality, reduced social mobility and concerns around regulatory capture. The pandemic and its lockdowns have both accentuated these trends and acted as a catalyst to review policies that can help offer more equitable outcomes. This session explores the risks and opportunities presented by considering a more sustainable form of capitalism in the decade to come.

The retirement income review offers a unique perspective on the facts around the superannuation industry. Whilst there are no recommendations that does not mean that there should not be meaningful change around the structures, operational efficiencies and evolution of technologies inspired by its research. This hypothetical debate explores the implications of the findings and potential avenues for partnerships to pre-empt formal policy to offer Australia a richer and more comprehensive superannuation model that offers dignity in retirement for all.
