Vamos full-circle from ASFA?
Rollover suspects that the 2016 ASFA conference represented the absolute final curtain-call for the organisation’s former chief executive, Pauline Vamos.
Vamos was front and centre at the conference largely because she had played such a pivotal role on the conference organising committee, but having been handed Life Membership on the final day and having been embraced by her colleagues, Rollover suspects La Vamos is moving on to fresh challenges.
He wonders whether her future may not have been printed in the pages of a national newspaper just a few days earlier within an advertisement seeking applications for the positions of chairman and commissioner of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
ASIC chairman, Greg Medcraft, is on a foreshortened second term as chairman and ASIC Commissioner, Greg Tanzer, seemed quite buoyant when telling ASFA delegates that his time at the regulator was nearly up.
Vamos came to the ASFA CEO role after a period at ASIC and perhaps her career is about to go full-circle.

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.
