Original caption

Australia has around $4.5 trillion in superannuation. That money belongs to hardworking Aussies and exists for one purpose: helping fund your retirement. When the government start describing private retirement savings as a “national asset” and discussing how it could be used to support broader national priorities, I think Australians are right to ask questions. Who should decide where your retirement savings are invested? You? Independent fund managers with a legal duty to maximise your returns? Or governments with their own priorities? These are important conversations because major policy changes often begin with a change in the narrative. Should governments have any influence over where your super is invested? Let me know in the comments.
