In this final event for 2019, we hosted the Reserve Bank of Australia, addressing the important issue of “The Role of Super Funds in Financial Stability”.
As superannuation funds have grown larger over the years, their combined assets under management is more than Australia’s annual GDP and larger than the market capitalisation of the stock market by a significant margin.
What role do super funds have to play in the stability of the financial system and are we heading to a stage where some of these funds will simply become too big to fail?
