The new investment committee chair of Local Government Super Scheme NSW (LGSS) will be decided at a board meeting this month, following the retirement of employer representative John Wearne at the end of June.
The end of August saw the departure of another veteran employer-appointed trustee, with Peter Woods retiring from his seat after more than 10 years (spent mostly as chair) and also leaving the board of LGSS’s funds manager, FuturePlus. Replacing Wearne as the Shires Association of NSW representative on the LGSS board is Col Sullivan, an officer of Casino shire, while Woods’ replacement as Local Government Association of NSW trustee is Sam Byrne from Marrickville council.
The OECD has called on global policymakers to avoid restrictive regulatory frameworks that could lead to overly conservative investment strategies in defined contribution pension schemes, as a new study from the organisation found that equity exposure usually brings better retirement income outcomes.
