Earth Matters Bec Horridge meets a persistent team: Fridays 4 Forests [ Facebook] who regularly protest outside Janelle Saffin MP's office in Lismore on Friday. They are calling for the creation of the Richmond River Koala Parks and to "Stop Native Forest Logging".Then we meet climate campaigner Brett, from Market Forces who dresses as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz to call out Australian Super's climate cop-out. Australian Super has become the largest shareholder in Whitehaven Coal, which has plans to develop up to six new or expanded coal mines in New South Wales and Queensland. This investment is seen as inconsistent with Australian Super's own net zero and Paris Agreement climate commitments. LinksRichmond River Koala Parks: NSW Nature Conservation Council

This week on The KOKO Show we get our Swoopy back from his impromptu golfing trips to make the group whole again as we break down a wonderful week that was in the world of rugby. The lads came together to run a fine tooth comb through the Super Rugby W Final that saw the Tahs tackle the Reds at North Sydney Oval, to make it back to back chips in 2024 and 25. Plus, we go large on round 9 of the Superb Rugby Pacific, highlighting the Brumbies big win over the Reds, the Tahs toppling the challenging Chiefs and the Crusaders taking their rightful place back on top of the Super ladder. Moreover, the boys go full business mode as they tackle all the hard hitting topics in a saucy smattering of Other Rugby News. However, the highlight of Episode 17 has to be our very special guest, all the way from the fortified walls of Edinburgh Castle with his new Whiskey in hand and donning a gorgeously snug pair of togs, it is Scotland's South African chunky chappy Mr Pierre Schoeman. We discuss everything from the state of rugby north of the wall, what it was like growing up in South Africa and now proudly playing for Scotland and finally his delicious little side business he shares with teammate and friend Duhan van der Merwe. So sit back, relax and hook up your IV drip full of Hirundine Whiskey and just let those mellow smokey notes of four flogs trying to make a rugby pod fill your gills with glee. Because it is time for episode 17 of Kick Offs and Kick Ons.

We often talk about institutional investors as the allocators of capital to the public and private markets. They are huge, active participants driving supply and demand dynamics in the fixed income and equity markets, and they often make sizable investments as LPs in private equity and private credit funds. But what exactly are they trying to accomplish, and why?We sat down with John Normand --- the former head of Cross-Asset Strategy at JP Morgan and the current head of Investment Strategy at Australian Super --- to discuss investment strategy at a superannuation fund (what we in the US think of as a "pension fund"). John is one of our most accomplished and distinguished guests to date. Not only does he explain the mechanics of defined benefit / defined contribution plans, but he also shares his philosophical perspective on the ethics of investing, his current views on the macro environment, and a crash course in one of the staples of fixed income markets: the Yen carry trade. This episode is a must listen for anyone who wants to understand how some of the biggest allocators of capital in both the public and private markets approach investment strategy.The Funds4Teachers event is happening the dates below:Locations/DatesAtlanta - Apr 25Boston - June 6Chicago - June 18New York - Sep 26To learn more about how to support this initiative and register click here: https://iconnections.io/funds4teachers/Follow us on Instagram and Tik Tok at @thewallstreetskinnyhttps://www.instagram.com/thewallstreetskinny/

Wall St was closed overnight due to the Thanksgiving day holiday. Over in Europe, markets closed in the green with the STOXX600 ending the day 0.3% higher, led by oil and gas stocks rising 1.4%. Germany's DAX closed 0.23% higher, the French CAC ended the trading day up 0.24% and over in the UK the FTSE100 closed Thursday's session 0.19% in the green.The ASX extended its losing streak into Thursday's session closing the day down 0.62%, taking no lead from Wall Street's rally on Wednesday, as the materials and energy sectors weighed on the key index due to the sliding price of oil and iron ore. Oil's decline was on the back of OPEC+ delaying its upcoming meeting where it was set to discuss further output cuts to stabilise the price of oil, which naturally caused a sell-off in oil producing stocks yesterday including Woodside and Santos.Origin Energy emerged from a trading halt yesterday to rally 1.2% after the company said it would extend its shareholders vote on the takeover offer to next month instead of today, following the investment group led by Brookfield announcing a revised takeover offer. The revised offer follows Australian Super which is a majority shareholder in Origin at 17.5%, saying it would vote no to the Brookfield led original offer on the grounds of value. The new offer is for a plan B option if majority of Origin's shareholders do not vote in favour of the original offer of $9.43/share. The plan B offer is effectively a lower offer that the investment group will ‘come in and control the company' for a lower price under an Alternative Transaction offer where shareholders will receive a cash consideration of up to $9.08 per share including dividends. It is a very interesting time for Origin Energy shareholders and the company's takeover fate will be revealed on December 4th when the Scheme Meeting has been postponed to.Looking at economic data, Australia's manufacturing PMI index decreased in November to 47.7 points from 48.2 points in October in a sign of the economic slowdown and confirming that the Australian economy is experiencing a soft landing as a result of interest rate rises to date.What to watch locally today:The Australian share market is set to open higher, with the SPI futures suggesting a rise of 0.2% at the open this morning.On the commodity front this morning, Oil is trading down 1.09% to US$76.26/barrel after signs of strong supply from non-OPEC countries, which has been weighing down oil prices.Gold is trading 0.15% higher to US$1992.62/ounce and iron ore is down 1.09% to US$136/tonne.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter maintains a buy rating on Propel Funeral Partners (ASX:PFP) with a 12-month price target of $5.70. The buy rating is maintained as it is expected that organic volume growth will return in the 2nd quarter of 2024 and mid-long term growth to be further supported by ageing baby boomers as the older cohorts reach average life expectancy.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Pengana Private Equity (ASX:PCG) , indicating that the stock price may fall from the close of $1.58 to the range of $1.23-$1.25 on a pattern formed over 8 days, according to the standard principles of technical analysis.
In this week's Talking Wealth Podcast, Janine discusses the Origin Energy takeover by Brookfield Asset Management and Australian Super's decision to block the offer. Is Brookfield's takeover of Origin Energy good for shareholders, does it properly value this type of company, and should we allow takeovers like this to proceed?

Welcome to the coaching knife when we cut to the root of the matter. In this episode, we speak to Tom Carter, Head of Athletic Performance Australian Women's 7s. Focusing on high-performance coaching, we are going to cut to the root on why high-performance coaching is different to normal coaching. Tom is a former professional rugby and captained the Australian Super rugby team, the Waratahs. He has worked as a high-performance coach across numerous sports, including cricket and rugby.His philosophy is physical performance utilises a comprehensive understanding of sports science, psychology of behavioural change and elite sports performance, yet recognises that more is necessary for supreme athletic excellence. Essentially, underpinning all the above is the human element, about forming a life-long relationship with an athlete, a genuine relationship based on the exact needs of an individual athlete and what it takes to help them excel to the best of their athletic and human capacity.

Here's what you need to know about Australia's Retirement System: It's really big. It's government mandated. It's privately run. It's really sophisticated. Still curious? Host Josh Cohen's two guests have played meaningful roles in the system's development from the highest levels of government and industry. The Honorable Nick Sherry started one of the first modern Superannuation Funds in Australia and then went to be the leading minister in the government overseeing the industry. Ian Silk ran the largest Super Fund called Australian Super. There's a lot we can learn from their experiences. Key Takeaways: [:19] Josh Cohen, your host, introduces today's topic: Australia and their compulsory retirement system with very sophisticated investments that cause admiration worldwide. [2:30] Josh is accompanied by two experts to dive deep into the origin and evolution of the Australian retirement system. [2:55] Nick Sherry joins the conversation. He is a former Australian politician who served as a member of the Australian Senate for the state of Tasmania from 1990 until 2012, Sherry was sworn in as the Assistant Treasurer in 2009, after serving as the first Australian Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law. [4:39] Nick shares how he accidentally got involved in the retirement space. [5:45] Nick explains how Australia began to shape a new retirement policy. [6:40] Josh describes how the industrial awards system work along with the social wage. [7:56] Nick shares the development of the House Plus Fund. [9:10] Nick explains the administrative hassles they had to overcome in the late 80s'. [10:09] Nick becomes in charge of an additional pension reform when he just assumed the role as a Senate for the state of Tasmania. [12:32] Nick talks about initiating the Cooper review. [13:25] What happens at retirement? [14:01] Nick speaks about his life now that he is retired but still very active! [14:38] Josh explains what fund mergers are about. [15: 23] Ian Silk, Chief Executive at AustralianSuper, joins the conversation by providing answers about how Fund mergers work in Australia. [16:47] Ian talks about his vast experience in the field of funds. [17:18] Ian dives deep into the five sectors the retirement providers fall into. [18:30] Ian describes two reasons why the owners have decided not to run their own plans. [20:05] Compulsion arrived to change how things were doing in regards to retirement. [20:34] An important feature of the Australian retirement system: An employer can run his/her own plan or pick a super plan as the default for his/her workers. There is always a default investment option if the employer doesn't make an election. [21:28] Josh talks about Industry funds that arise in the late 1980s and Ian expands on the topic. [23:39] Josh introduces the fourth sector: The retail sector. [25:32] Ian explains how people took their funds from retail to industry. [25:43] The fifth sector is called the Self Managed Super, where people decide to run their own Super. Ian describes the one big driver of its popularity. [26:58] Ian explains how Australian Super originated and how it scaled. [28:49] The area of investing innovation is the one that is admired by many in Australian Super. Ian describes this particular feature of the Australian Super. [30:02] Ian shares what improvements could be done to an already sophisticated Australian retirement system. [31:03] Ian talks about the secret to the success of the Australian retirement system. [32:11] Ian shares the proudest moment of his career, realizing that low to middle-income workers in Australia have something significant to look forward to in retirement that wasn't the case 30 to 40 years ago. [33:23] Josh shares his key takeaways from the amazing conversations with Nick Sherry and Ian Silk. [34:55] Stayed tuned for the next episode: The UK edition. Thank you for tuning in.

In this episode we're going to do something a little different, and it's going to require your help. Today we're going to take you through a Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for a Super fund, and we're hoping you play along by opening up a copy of your own Super funds PDS too! WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION HERE: https://youtu.be/4nW0TTMHJfs We'll point out some of the key sections you'll want to have a read of, what some of the jargon means and how to more confidently understand the fund you're invested in. Essentially, it's the document you want to ask for and read through (I'll be the first to admit they're pretty dry) — before investing in any financial product! I know, I know, this doesn't sound like something very fun to do with 30 minutes of your day, but if you put in the work now to ensure you're in the most suitable product for you, you'll be cruising all the way to the beach in retirement. We'll be using a few different PDS's from large Aussie Super funds to illustrate what we're saying as we work our way through this episode. Episode transcript now available via the show notes page.
