Eight superannuation leaders are among members appointed to the Treasurer’s Investor Roundtable.
The roundtable was set up by Treasurer Jim Chalmers and would seek to identify and unlock investment opportunities and how to overcome barriers to investment.
The first session would address barriers to investment within housing, improving revenue streams and investor confidence in the project pipeline to meet risk and return preferences and identify partnership opportunities for government co-investment.
Chalmers said: “There is a massive opportunity in promoting greater investment in sectors that deliver both strong returns for investors and strong returns for our community.
“The Government is committed to working with investors to leverage greater private capital to build a stronger, broader and more sustainable economy.”
Dr Martin Fahy, chief executive of the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, said: “There are key challenges for governments and economies in the global environment and a constructive dialogue with Government is important to determine the policy measures needed to create more productive investment opportunities across the Australian economy
“Superannuation fund trustees assess potential investments in terms of risk-adjusted returns. Identifying models for investment which work economically, both for the government and for fund members, will be key.”
