Bundled out
Rollover made a point of attending Sally Loane's inaugural speech as chief executive of the Financial Services Council and concluded that she is more than capable of delivering a tightly-crafted speech outlining her organisation's policy position.
Indeed, Loane made clear that superannuation would be remaining front-and-centre on the FSC's agenda, and that she would be continuing to prosecute issues such as injecting more competition into the default funds under modern awards regime.
Little wonder, then, that less than a week later Industry Super Australia boss, David Whiteley, released new research questioning the activities of Loane's major constituents - the banks.
Whiteley's ISA research claimed the banks were bundling their services to convince employers to switch to bank-run default superannuation funds.
Rollover notes that unlike a number of the big industry superannuation funds, bank default funds have been bundled out of being eligible to be part of the Fair Work Commission's list of default funds eligible to be selected by employers covered by particular awards.

The Rollover
Rollover is a jaded hack who joined the staff of Super Review nearly two decades’ ago and never managed to summon the energy to leave. Known throughout the superannuation industry as a power-luncher and gossip, Rollover spends his time humouring fund managers, eavesdropping at conferences, dozing through briefings and looking for his next free meal.

With rainy weather abound in Sydney, Rollover was sat in front of his TV watching the smorgasbord of niche documentaries free-to-air has to offer.
As a history buff, Rollover is well-aware of the importance of the role the vanguard plays in a military force, as the leader at the front of battle.
Now that crypto investing is mainstream, with Rest Super announcing it will put a portion of its funds into it, Rollover wonders whether his grandkids will think he is hip when he shows them his crypto balance in his new digital wallet.
Rollover is almost as fascinated by superannuation fund mergers as the deputy chair of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), Helen Rowell.
