Seeing double in Adelaide
Two superannuation conferences. Two visits to Adelaide.
Yes, it was only a few short weeks ago that Rollover found himself in Adelaide attending the SMSF Association annual conference and in March he finds himself back in the “City of Churches” attending the Conference of Major Superannuation Funds.
Of course there is a considerable difference between the delegates who attended the SMSF conference and those attending the CMSF – accountants and financial planners versus industry fund trustees and a few union officials.
However Rollover notes that while the SMSF and CMSF delegates may come from different career backgrounds, they have a few things in common – their choice of dining establishments and watering holes in Adelaide.
He notes that one major institution must have liked the restaurant at which it hosted its SMSF clients because it is taking selected CMSF delegates to the exact same venue.
Perhaps dinner will be selected from a different menu.

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.
