Defined contributions + choice of fund = the ultimate innovation in retirement planning. That’s how Ashby Monk and Daniel de Faro Adamson from Stanford University described Australia’s superannuation system in a recent podcast episode with Mark Delaney. The AustralianSuper CIO talks about the origin of AustralianSuper, where we are headed as an organisation and the risks of not continuing to innovate: “I like to describe risk management as moving toward the future. If you stay in the past, you’re actually taking a lot of risk… You have to keep on innovating in your business otherwise you are going to fall behind.” Listen to the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/geC-UQxH

AustralianSuper’s Chief Executive, Paul Schroder, yesterday attended the Treasurer’s Economic Reform Roundtable session on capital attraction and business investment. Paul told the roundtable that simplifying retirement rules could unlock productivity and better support Australians as they age: "The roundtable was an opportunity to highlight the challenges Australians face as they retire. Over the next decade, 2.5 million Australians will transition into retirement, yet our current laws don’t let Australians contribute into their account once they are in the spending phase - they need a separate accumulation account. This creates unnecessary complexity, is a huge administrative burden and discourages older Australians from remaining in the workforce." AustralianSuper is proud to help shape long-term solutions that support Australians in retirement and strengthen our national productivity.

With the superannuation gender gap still leaving many Australian women behind at retirement, #EqualPayDay is an opportunity to focus on the actions women can take today to help build a strong financial future. Here’s what we know: 🔶 Women typically earn less over their careers and often take career breaks for caregiving, leading to lower super contributions than men. 🔶 The gap in super balances starts to widen from age 30 and peaks just before retirement. 🔶 But momentum is building. In the 2024–25 financial year, nearly 200,000 female AustralianSuper members made voluntary contributions - a 10% increase on the previous year. Spouse contributions to women also rose by 15%. With the introduction of super on Paid Parental Leave, women are now better supported to stay connected to their super, even while taking time out for caregiving. That’s why this Equal Pay Day, we’re encouraging women to take small, consistent steps that can make a meaningful difference over time: ✔️ Regularly check their super balance and contributions ✔️ Consolidate accounts and contribute when they can ✔️ Use online tools to plan for the future ✔️ Talk openly about super with their household ✔️ Seek trusted advice tailored to their goals Women deserve to retire with confidence, and with the right support, they can.
