Few would disagree that a strong regulator is required for a strong superannuation system. But APRA’s myopic focus on cost to members means its $70,000 Christmas party is unlikely to help its reputation.
Good investing requires real sacrifices, according to Oaktree’s Howard Marks, but you can’t expect to be compensated just for making them.
Milliman recruits head of consulting services

Milliman, the actuarial consulting firm, has hired former Telstra Super and Energy Super executive Kevin Moloney as ‘head of consulting services’.
Moloney, who reports to Wade Matterson, Milliman’s superannuation practice leader, will enhance Milliman’s capabilities across marketing and member analytics, financial advice, and retirement solutions, the firm said last week.
Prior to his recent roles at Telstra Super and Energy Super, Moloney was a principal consultant at Mercer within the superannuation and market development business.
Wade Matterson said: “The experience Kevin brings to our business will support us through a period of growth. His broad industry experience, across retirement products, marketing and distribution strategy will serve us well as we continue to expand the depth of our relationships with Australian clients…
“We are seeing an increasing desire from our industry fund partners to assist as they deal with a rapidly changing environment. Funds are dealing with simultaneous challenges across financial advice, engagement and retirement solutions, and consulting organisations are increasingly required to offer an integrated range of services.”
