When it’s OK to be ignored
Rollover sends his sympathies to all those industry superannuation fund chief executives who opened their mail in mid-December only to discover that it was not a Christmas card but, rather, a letter from the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.
But he is told that not all industry fund CEOs actually received a pre-Christmas surprise from the Royal Commission and that those whose funds have sponsored sporting teams or contributed to Industry Super Australia’s “compare the pair” and “fox in the hen house” advertising campaigns have proved luckier than those that did not.
For reasons which Rollover can only guess at, those industry fund CEOs who have not yet received a letter from the Royal Commission have asked that your correspondent not do or write anything that might draw attention to the manner in which they have been neglected.
In the meantime, and as is usually the case with Royal Commissions, it seems that all benefits will go to the law firms, with one Melbourne-based firm finding itself particularly busy.

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.
