This week Phil explores the massive shift of Australian retirement savings toward Europe as the domestic superannuation system prepares to surge to a staggering $8.3 trillion by 2035. Joined by David Whiteley of IFM Investors and Nicola Jolley, CEO of NAB Europe, the discussion reveals why France has emerged as a premier hub for "patient capital," offering high-value opportunities in Public-Private Partnerships and strategic sectors like low-carbon district heating, waste-to-energy, and digital infrastructure. With so much money flowing into Australian super funds every week, the race is on to secure long-term, resilient returns in the European market. Tune in to discover how Australian workers are becoming some of the world's most influential investors in the global infrastructure of the future. Hosted on Acast.
