Its ultimate goal is improving retirement outcomes, with the initial focus to be on upcoming policy changes.
Fintan Thornton, actuary and head of institutional solutions at Allianz Retire+ will chair the panel. He was previously head of superannuation at Colonial First State as well as head of strategy and implementation and head of employee superannuation at CBA.

Can you retire comfortably with $300,000 in super?
How much do you need for a comfortable retirement? Depending on where you look you’ll get conflicting numbers.

Most people who retire in Australia do so on a combination of their super and the Age Pension.
Which means even a relatively modest super balance can help top up the Government’s Age Pension benefit.
