Rollover has been watching with interest as the head-hunters retained by the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) have sought to recruit a replacement for the soon to exit chief executive, Pauline Vamos.
While many names were initially being canvassed as being right for the job, Rollover now believes that only two serious names remain in contention and, interestingly, that both would likely have to accept a reduction in their current pay packets, assuming they were to be retained on the same basis as Vamos.
In circumstances where running ASFA requires being able to straddle the often fractious relationships which exist between retail and industry funds, Rollover believes the person ultimately selected will need to be both a diplomat and a pugilist.
In the meantime, La Vamos gave what must have been her valedictory address during a function held during the first week of the Federal Election campaign with some interpreting the content as an indicator of future office. But where?
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.
