We appreciated the interest shown by the many State Super members who attended our second online Annual Member Meeting on 6 December 2023. The response again exceeded our expectations with over 750 members registering to attend.
State Super Chairperson, Nicholas Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, John Livanas, Chief Investment Officer, Charles Wu and Chief Experience Officer, Nada Siratkov presented their summaries of investment performance, objectives, membership trends and the outlook for the year ahead during the meeting.
A range of questions to the panel had been included during registration, as well as additional questions which members were able to submit live during the event.
Our executive team provided insightful, detailed answers to many of the issues raised by our members. Some that were not answered during the meeting are addressed in the below “Q&A”.
Members were also shown a short video interview with one of our esteemed centenarian members – Mr Guy Warren, aged 102 and the oldest working artist in the country. Winner of the 1985 Archibald Prize as well as being made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2014, Guy has been a State Super pension member for the last 38 years.
A post-event survey showed that most members felt the meeting was worthwhile, with 87% of survey respondents saying they were “very likely” or “likely” to attend again next year. The overall rating for the event was also very positive 58% rated it “good” and 27% “excellent”.
“Outstanding meeting that provided an excellent insight into the high level of professionalism and competency that State Super provides its members. Very well done to the team” said one member.
And another “It was great seeing the interview with the member who is 102 and an artist. An excellent inclusion”.
Another member added “As a first-time attendee the meeting was interesting and covered relevant information for a retiree. Thank you”.
