Episode 2 of "That Super Show" is now live. This week, Neil and Sarah dive into:

  • Super fund marketing, sports sponsorships, and how transparency (or lack thereof) shapes member trust.
  • The fine balance between innovation and regulation, especially as APRA tightens its focus on industry governance and spending.
  • The challenges of measuring the true value of brand advertising and muse about unconventional investments - from vintage cars to crypto - questioning where super funds should draw the line.

Tune in for sharp insights, candid stories, and thought-provoking questions about where Australia’s retirement system is headed, and how members, regulators and innovators can all win.
