| By Rollover |

In circumstances where Sydney's early June temperatures have felt more like those of Canberra, Rollover admits he is envious of a couple of super fund chief executives who are headed for northern climes this month.

MTAA Super chief executive, Leeanne Turner is headed for San Francisco and surrounds as she takes advantage of the scholarship that goes with being FEAL's Fund Executive of the Year, while Rollover understands that ClubPLus CEO, Paul Cahill, is headed to the US on a fact-finding mission.

Given that Rollover is not exactly a stranger to international travel when it is on offer, he is reluctant to be too critical, but he is pretty sure that the number of fund executives who have had their passports stamped this year can now be counted in dozens.
