We appreciated all the State Super members who attended our inaugural online Member Meeting on 13 December 2022, and we were delighted with the overwhelming response to the invitation which resulted in over 800 registrations within a few days.
State Super Chairperson, Nicholas Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, John Livanas, Chief Investment Officer, Charles Wu and Chief Experience Officer, Nada Siratkov provided detailed presentations to members on our investment performance, objectives and the outlook for the year ahead during the 90-minute meeting.
A range of questions to the panel had been submitted ahead of the meeting, as well as many more which members had the opportunity to submit live during the event. Our executive team were able to provide thoughtful and honest answers to some of the complex issues raised by our members. Some questions that were not answered due to time constraints have now been addressed in the below “Q&A”.
A post-event survey showed that most members felt attending was worthwhile with 84% of survey respondents saying they would be either “very likely” or “likely” to attend again next year.
“Enjoyed the meeting - clear information from all presenters and it gave me a good insight into the priorities, strategies and perspective of those managing the funds. Thanks!” said one member.
And another “It is the first time that I have had the opportunity to understand the depth and value of my Super Fund”.
Other attendees said –
“I joined State Super as a first-year out teacher in 1970. I often wondered how things worked, what happened with the money, and what the people were like who handled this aspect of my finances. I found this session answered a lot of those questions…”
“I think the State Super Meeting was outstanding. I learnt so much about how your amazing team work so hard to invest in assets that will benefit the members. I was very impressed with how all of your team are so committed to doing their very best for the members”.
