Opinion

Superannuation funds should focus on financing and building local infrastructure rather than investing this money overseas.

Unions should be allowed to leverage their workers' money in the superannuation system to negotiate better working conditions.

There should be more consolidation of superannuation funds.

The Future Fund should be designated as a default superannuation fund.

The proposed 'best in show' default super shortlist will stifle competition.

The potential changes to franking credit refunds will spur SMSFs to invest overseas.

Boards of superannuation funds should engage and interact with other employees outside of senior management.

Financial institutions should be banned from offering superannuation funds.

The effects of climate change are increasingly factored in my investment decisions.

The sale of direct life insurance should be banned.
