  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.

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.

LGPS should embrace impact investing
