  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.

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.

Politics matter

In exercising fiduciary duty, it is not the origin of long-term value drivers that matters, but their financial materiality, and that includes ESG says Will Martindale, head of policy at PRI.
