Financial Standard Comments - Men continue to dominate super fund boards Men still heavily dominate the boards of superannuation funds, with just one fifth of trustee positions being held by women, according to statistics released by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA). https://www.financialstandard.com.au/feed/latest?story=37201732 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:46:23 +1100 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:46:23 +1100 en-AU Copyright 2026 Financial Standard 5 Comment by Jimbo Jones (Jimbo has views) I'm confused as to how greater female representation would improve the execution of fiduciary duties of superannuation boards on behalf of members. I'm certainly not against the participation of both sexes in this role, but any debate on increasing numbers of females as a gender equality issue would not really seem to be an issue at the heart of best interests for members. And Eva Scheerlinck's comment about "Gender equity on super boards has been a target for our members since 2011" is clearly driven with other agendas in mind. I can't recall the last client I spoke to who raised gender equality on Superannuation Boards - Oh that's right, they don't raise it because they don't care. Nice try Eva!
