The AIST is holding its first superannuation fund governance conference at the Melbourne Sofitel Hotel on May 6, which is designed to help trustees and executives to review the governance of their funds.
Typically, most governance conferences to date – and sessions at the major industry association conferences – have involved funds looking to better govern their investments rather than the oversight of their own organisational structures. Next week’s conference, held in conjunction with the Melbourne Centre for Financial Studies, includes as speakers: Keith Ambachstsheer, of the University of Toronto (via satellite link), Ross Jones, deputy chair of APRA, Professor Michael Skully, of Monash University, and Leo de Bever, CIO of VFMC. It will be followed by a dinner with Senator Nick Sherry, Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law. Information and bookings: www.aist.asn.au

Rest Super has built its private equity program around a deliberately selective approach to manager and deal selection, favouring a concentrated roster of external partners and proactively seeking out top PE firms rather than waiting for them to come knocking. Head of private markets Marina Pasika unpacks the program’s coming of age and what powered an asset class return more than double the peer average in the last financial year.
