Confidence is powerful - especially when it comes to choosing the right super investments for you!

In this episode of Super Insider, Anne Fuchs sits down with Liz Kumaru, General Manager of Growth Assets, and Jody Fitzgerald, General Manager of Defensive & Liquid Assets and Portfolio Intelligence at ART, for a candid and practical discussion about women, investing and long-term wealth. 

From the confidence gap to the 25% gender super gap*, this conversation explores why capability isn’t the issue - confidence often is and what women can do today to take control of their financial future.
