Welcome to the current edition of The Journal of Superannuation Management.
The Journal is an open forum for decision-makers behind super funds, their service providers, academics and stakeholders to hear and debate ideas about the strategic direction, structure and operations of our important industry.
Focusing initially on the cores of policy development, administration and compliance, technology, communications and investment strategy, the Journal canvasses issues in much greater depth than can be handled in magazine format and, thereby, it becomes a unique reference place for all of us.
The Journal continues to set an extremely high standard with papers that will leave their mark by exploring:
- Ideas for reforming and fixing Age Pensions
- Why we need to start taking fund choice seriously
- What the Coalition thinks about self-managed super
- The massive potential to lower total Australian GHG emissions by applying sustainability principles to the property sector
- How super funds can use portfolio systems to better manage in-house assets
- The principles around trustees using statutory declarations
- Practical guidelines for implementing AML procedures
- Why the government needs to establish a mechanism to underpin the RMBS market and transform it into a genuine asset class for super funds
- The investment proposition behind the "India story"
- The structure and sub-markets in the US commercial property market
The Rainmaker Group, since 1992, has been researching, describing and advocating for the superannuation industry in Australia and has played a pivotal thought-leadership role in bridging the gap between the industry, its customers and other stakeholders. This journal is an attempt for the Rainmaker Group to give something back to the industry we serve.
We look forward to your feedback about this edition and we particularly invite contributions from readers and their stakeholders.
