New and old faces at CMSF
Rollover notes that if he sees Tom Garcia at this month’s Conference of Major Superannuation Funds (CMSF) on the Gold Coast it will not be in his former capacity as chief executive of the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST).
Instead, Garcia will be there as part of the rather large AustralianSuper contingent, with the AIST still head-hunting to find a full-time replacement for Garcia in the chief executive role.
However, proceedings will be in good hands with Eva Scheerlinck opening the conference as acting CEO.
Scheerlinck is no novice, having served the AIST as executive manager for governance and stewardship.
Rollover notes from the CMSF speaker list that Scheerlinck will not wont for advice, with former AIST chief executive, Fiona Reynolds, also attending the event in her latest principles of responsible investment role.

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.
