Superannuation women leading from the front
Rollover wishes to offer his heartiest congratulations to the teams at industry funds HESTA and Cbus for doing so well in the recent Money Management and Super Reivew Women in Financial Services Awards.
Rollover notes that Investment Professional of the Year was won by Cbus Superannuation’s Diana Callebaut in a tight field of finalists which included EquipSuper and Catholic Super’s Anna Shelley and HESTA’s Sonya Sawtell-Rickson.
He also notes that HESTA’s Georgie Obst was named Marketing and Communications Professional of the Year while HESTA’s Lisa Samuels and Sonya Sawtell-Rickson were finalists in the Superannuation Executive of the Year Award which was won by Future Super’s Kirstin Hunter.
Rollover reckons that when it comes to gender equity the superannuation industry is at the forefront of not just talking the talk but also walking the walk.
Congratulations to all the finalists and winners.

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.
