    What better conclusion is there to arrive at than (and I quote) ‘Effective collaboration without sacrificing the genuine benefits of competition requires clearly defined objectives and goals. It also requires a mindset shift among asset owners that recognises these strategic partnerships have the potential to be mutually beneficial.’

  2. A worthwhile project to extend on this observation would be to identify the conditions under which collaborative versus competitive dynamics produce desirable outcomes for all members of super funds.
    Regnan was an initiative of universal owners and is proof that outcomes greater than the sum of the parts can be achieved. It has a collaborative model hard-coded into its organisational structure and clear goals shared by its participants which is the minimum needed for positive collaborative outcomes. This model enables greater efficiency though investment in shared resources but more importantly, it achieves much greater results than could be achieved individually. As long term investors, superannuation funds share a common goal of ensuring that business is aligned to their long term interests. This member outcome can be achieved through high quality centralised engagement.
