Case Study
As the population ages, getting the best returns out of superannuation is of vital importance not just to the "baby boomer" generation, but to the whole community. Research conducted by Professor Ron Bird of the QFRC has already produced economic benefits in the form of more efficient pricing in the capital markets, which is better for asset managers and their clients and for the future economy.
