Will the real Rollover please stand up
Rollover doesn’t go much for game-playing, unless that game involves 13 clubs, a dozen balls and 18 holes, but he nonetheless admires the Financial Services Council’s approach to encouraging people to sign up to this year’s Leader’s Summit in Melbourne.
Utilising social media, the FSC encourages those interested in the summit to play a “game,” with the game actually being a fairly rudimentary psychometric test aimed at defining what sort of person you are in the context of the summit and its content.
For those who care, it turns out that the crusty old Rollover is actually a “TRAILBLAZER” who “not unlike Tony Stark from Iron Man, will deal with difficult situations in inventive, highly effective and sometimes unorthodox ways”.
“Your keen business ethics make you a formidable strategist, one that is perhaps willing to defy convention if the end justifies the means. You’ve got a clear plan for the future and you’re not afraid to ruffle a few feather along the way,” the analysis said.
All true of Rollover, of course but WHO THE HELL IS TONY STARK and WHAT IS IRON MAN?

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.
