Australia’s superannuation system is often hailed as a global success story, but what can UK pension schemes learn from it? With growing regulatory pressures, consolidation trends, and a shifting investment landscape, are there lessons from down under that could help shape the future of UK pensions?

In this episode, we speak with Michael Ambery of Standard Life to explore how Australia’s superfunds are structured, how they operate and what this means for how they invest. For our Views from the Boardroom section, Jacob speaks to Mark Watts (Partner at LCP) to talk about how current changes in the US might impact the energy transition and how institutional investors can still find attractive opportunities in this space.

What’s one thing you would like listeners to take away from this?

  • Whilst we’re building better pots and consolidating to better pots, we do need to graduate the real purpose of what adequacy looks like.
