Karen Volpato aptly rewarded
Women have long been major players in the superannuation industry and Rollover has always noted that the number of female chief executives in the sector tends to put other segments of the financial services industry to shame.
Therefore, he was delighted to see the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees senior policy adviser, Karen Volpato, named as the Super Review/Money Management Woman of the Year at the recent Women in Financial Services awards.
Volpato has been a stalwart of the industry funds movement and Rollover notes that she follows on from the inaugural winner of Woman of the Year, Frontier’s Fiona Trafford-Walker.
Still flying the flag for Frontier in the awards, was the company’s director of strategy and people, Kerrie Williams who was named Super Executive of the Year.
Maintaining the theme of successful women in superannuation, the head of marketing at Statewide Super, Nicole Kinnear took away the gong with respect to Marketing and Communications.
Rollover offers his hearty congratulations to them all.

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.
