This has been such a fun campaign to work on and Gemma is an absolute hoot.

While 80% workers pay into a pension through their employer, how many of us really understand how it all works, how much we've got and what we'll need to retire?

Australia's DC market is a template for success for investing in unlisted assets, but as @helentbiz says, it's far from an overnight success story and there are important differences between our markets.

Well this is a lovely surprise. Although I should think I don't stand much chance of winning among this talented lot! #HMAwards23
