It wasn't confidence that prompted Sarah Shaw to walk away from established investment houses and co-found 4D Infrastructure in 2015. It was something she believes is far more important: courage. By Vinny Vucago.







So David, are you saying that APRA has been compromised by allowing these evil banks to register their own MySuper products? Wasn't that process gruelling enough? What did APRA miss in this process that the FWC would pick up on a second review?
And take the unions out of the process? Have you run that by your members? How likely is that going to be? Are you saying that all employers are corruptable and that all Australian banks are corrupt? How about the union faction of your Fund? If you want to throw stones in glass rooms...I'd prefer to be in a glass room of bankers anyday....wouldn't you?
David has made some very good points, corporate inducement does happen but it's not likely to be found because the current government would never launch a royal commission into the dodgy practices of corporate Australia.
Charles, given that a 'glass' room of bankers got the world into the GFC in the first place..that is the last place i would like to be. From my own experience in working in banks and superfunds the key difference here is that currently bank customers make a choice on their super product on its own merits..It is likely banking managers under this future scenario would be offering incentives on cheaper banking products for the employer's benefit if super was included in their banking package. This benefits the employer and not the employee and it is a clear conflict of interest in making a decision about a default fund.
