Rumours, gossip and innuendo
Departing Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia chief executive, Pauline Vamos, has not even left her desk but speculation has already begun about who might be her replacement.
Rollover has heard a range of names being canvassed for the role including at least three former ASFA board members not to mention the four former superannuation fund chief executives who are currently without portfolio.
However Rollover’s money is on Vamos’ successor being a male, largely on the basis that females have held the role for most of the past two decades with Vamos having taken the helm from former Commonwealth ombudsman, Philippa Smith.
And what will La Vamos be doing in the future, you ask?
Rollover holds to the view “once a regulator, always a regulator”.

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.
