NEW SOUTH WALES TREASURY CORPORATION
What makes an economist an economist? TCorp chief economist Brian Redican reflects on over three decades of navigating Australia's economic cycles. Riddhima Talwani writes.







So if super funds had invested in the Sydney cross city tunnel, Lane Cove tunnel, Clem7, BrisConnections, Macquarie Airports, Macquarie Infrastructure Group, it would have increased productivity and growth....really? It would have burned a whole lot of super funds as opposed to retail mum & dad investors.
Super funds will invest in an asset if the mathematics and risk/return dynamics stack up...that is what trustees are entrusted to do....no more, no less. It doesn't matter whether the asset is commodities, ag, precious metals, land or bonds. No different to any other type of investor. Anything else and member's retirement nest eggs are being compromised...are they not?
