Rollover knows how often a chief executive’s key performance indicators (KPIs) are based on the degree to which they can grow their company’s market share, and so he tips his hat to the magnanimity of AIA Australia chief executive, Damien Mu.
You see Mu is one of the few insurance industry chief executives Rollover has ever heard publicly acknowledge the success of a competitor.
While sitting on a panel with TAL chief executive, Brett Clark, Mu noted during early August’s Financial Services Council annual conference that TAL had become Australia’s largest life insurer.
A magnanimous gesture on Mu’s part, albeit he acknowledged that it was something that was not that easy to say.
Rollover feels certain that the TAL CEO would have proved equally magnanimous if the shoe had been on the other foot.
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.
