Episode 11: Actuaries in Superannuation with Stephen Huppert
“One of the reasons I’ve enjoyed working in superannuation for as long as I have, is because there’s a real intersection of financial services, public policy and adequacy, you know, dignity in retirement for everybody.
We all have superannuation, so it’s not some sort of abstract financial conversation. It is a very real conversation, and working in superannuation, you’re really at the crossroads of those things.”
