Michael Dwyer a worthy recipient
Rollover offers his hearty congratulations to First State Super chief executive, Michael Dwyer, for being honoured with Super Review's Lifetime Achievement Award.
It is, of course, old news now that Dwyer will be handing over the reins of First State Super to former Metlife chief executive, Deanne Stewart at the end of this year, bringing to an end his distinguished career as a super fund executive.
As past recipients of Super Review's Lifetime Achievement Award will attest, it is not something earned via mere longevity, it is something which is secured via the person’s contribution to the industry – something evidenced by the inaugural recipient, Garry Weaven and more recent recipients such as barrister, Noel Davis and last year’s winner, Insight Investment’s Marg Waller.
Dwyer, by anyone’s measure, has not only been responsible for the ongoing success of First State Super, he has also been a strong contributor to the broader superannuation industry via forums such as the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees and the Fund Executives Association Limited.
While perhaps lost to First State Super, Rollover understand that Dwyer’s knowledge will not be lost to the industry and expects to see him emerge on a number of boards.

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.
