Relative Return Unplugged: Is ASIC making super funds enemies with private market crackdown?
In this episode of Relative Return Unplugged, hosts Maja Garaca Djurdjevic and Keith Ford discuss the corporate regulator’s recent discussion paper looking into the rapid growth of private markets and the role of superannuation funds in this “opaque” sector.
In what ASIC chair Joe Longo described as one of its “most important pieces of proactive work”, the corporate cop has sought to open a discussion on its regulatory approach and gather actionable ideas to improve Australia’s capital markets.
We break down the paper and the research report informing it, how ASIC has approached the shifting dynamics of capital markets, and why super funds have emerged as the focal point of the discussion.
Tune in to hear:
- What the corporate regulator is looking to achieve with its attempts to increase transparency in private markets.
- How market participants have responded to the discussion paper.
- The role of Australia’s superannuation funds in both public and private markets.
