Hi There

 

In the news this week - APRA's latest quarterly superannuation statistics revealed that total superannuation assets totalled $4.1 trillion as at September, breaking $4 trillion for the first time! Now that's a lot of money!

 

Last week we had our PDS Managers roundtable hybrid event in conjunction with our friends at Parity Consulting. We had a candid discussion around 'how to have a successful career in product management' with guest speakers - Victoria Butt, Amna Khan and Tristan Reis-Freeman. See below the key take-ways from this session. 

 

Don't forget next week we have two webinars to wrap up the year - our ASFA NSW Legs&Regs on Monday, 9 December at 1pm and our CREW webinar on Tuesday, 10 December also at 1pm - details below and hope to see you online!

 

Cheers

Sarah
