Trusting trustees with our $4 trillion in superannuation

29 May 2025
From

Simone Constant

ASIC Commissioner Simone Constant delivered a keynote address at the Consumer Rights Forum on 27 May.

Here are the highlights of Simone’s speech:

  • Superannuation is one of Australia’s greatest success stories but bigger has not necessarily meant better when it comes to the way trustees treat their members.
  • Governance failures are the golden thread connecting many issues within superannuation member services at the moment.
  • We will continue to follow up and follow through to ensure trustees do what they have said they will do and deliver the step-change that was promised.
