Matt Whineray recently retired from the role of Chief Executive Officer at the NZ$77 bn NZ Super Fund, where he had spent close to 16 years in a series of roles, culminating in CEO but which included 4 years as CIO. He previously worked in a series of corporate finance roles, and currently holds a number of Chair and Board roles.
Our conversation starts with his early career in finance, which saw him move from New Zealand to New York and Hong Kong. We discuss the moment he knew that he wanted to take his family back to New Zealand and its natural bounty and how he acted upon that. Moving then to his role at the NZ Super Fund we discuss the nature of the entity, its governance and overarching objective.
As one of the instigators of a total fund portfolio approach, we dig in in some detail as to what that means and how it evolved. There are various other unique characteristics of NZ Super too and Matt discusses its commitments around sustainable investing and what return and volatility it could tolerate.
We end with Mattâs current chapter, a retirement that includes a portfolio of board roles including Netball New Zealand as well as a good deal of travel. This is a fascinating insight into a unique institution that punches well above its weight in investment innovation.

Lindsey Stewart is Director of Stewardship Research and Policy at Morningstar Sustainanalytics, where he is a sustainability and governance specialist. Based in London he writes regularly about how institutional investors engage with companies and policymakers on environmental, social and governance themes and is a regular speaker on these topics. He previously was head of Stakeholder Engagement at the Financial Reporting Council and spent 8 years at KPMG in various engagement roles.
Our conversation starts with Lindseyâs unconventional background where he approached finance straight from school instead of via a traditional college degree. He describes it as a âmoon shotâ and details his journey into a governance specialists role, and some of the disorientation he experienced once he âlandedâ on the moon. This leads to a discussion around socio-economic mobility and the profession more generally and we look at the scaffolding that can enable such moves.
We turn then to a discussion of the current state of sustainability data, where the world of engagement has moved to and challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for the area of sustainable investing.

He previously worked primarily within information technology and did research work in biochemistry. He has recently retired from the PSPRS and is focusing full time on developing AI solutions for investment management.
Our conversation traces his route into the investment world from his science background and his years of learning under the leadership of Mark Steed, CIO at the PSPRS, whose podcast we captured in July 2021.
We move then to the innovation in place at the PSPRS investment process including the development of more refined and reliable predictions and the embrace of machine learning. We examine the potential for this in the asset allocation function as well as how AI can assist allocators with getting through the sheer mass of information and documents that they face.

We have launched a few episodes of Fiftyfaces TV focused on investor identity and responsible investing and we have continued covering the issue of maternal mortality, women in sports and other matters close to our hearts.
Now we are back to our main series and we are delighted to bring you another 10 inspiring guests who share their insights on careers, markets, overlooked opportunities and advice for fulfillment.

We turn to the challenge of front-line client interactions and the changing shape of client need as markets and investment products evolve, get "in deep" when it comes to what really happens after a Merger, and expose the shocking gaps in financial literacy that are jeopardizing retirements and pension pots everywhere.
We dig some more - into soil science and regenerative agriculture, and where such products fit within a portfolio, then chat with an executive coach about her trending topics and how "breakdowns lead to breakthroughs". A veteran of risk management and non-executive roles shares her journey from "the age of the dinosaurs" in the City of London today's different challenges, a fund manager recalls his father's refrain to "take things back to formula" and an education investor stresses the importance of scale.The guests on Series 5 are:

Tammy Parlour, is the co-founder of Womenâs Sport Trust. She works with leaders from across sport, media and business to understand how to practically raise visibility, increase impact and create a stronger womenâs sport ecosystem and was awarded an MBE in 2019 for services to gender equality in sport. She is a Master in the Korean martial art of Hapkido, having practiced for over 40 years, and currently runs a club in central London. She is a club rep on The FA Womenâs National League Board since the end of 2023 and sums up her approach to life succinctly on her biography on LinkedIn as âI love learningâ.
Our conversation starts with how she discovered martial arts and hapkido in particular and the collateral impact of building extreme proficiency in the sport â in particular how moving to each belt level required âinhabitingâ the roles and responsibilities that came with each level (e.g. to teach other classes). We trace then her move back to the UK from the US and setting up a studio in the discipline.
This discussion is a particularly personal one, as we explore the benefits that sport and discipline can bring to an impressionable teenage mind, particularly one that might have struggled with other issues such as an eating disorder, and we discuss how this informed a life-long mission for Tammy to further equality in sport and the creation of a stronger womenâs sport ecosystem.
The themes of voice, empowerment, inner strength, discipline, loyalty and passion are all intertwined in this conversation, which we bring to you as a special bonus in the aftermath of the Olympics 2024, which were a triumph for diversity and inclusion.

We turn then to the the fundraising experience and the level of attention given to womenâs health and the innovations in same. Unfortunately these areas are often overlooked and underfunded.

Jennifer Devine is Head of Wiltshire Pension Fund, and a thought leader in the field of sustainable investing. I was thrilled to welcome her to the podcast in order to capture some of the vision that she implements at Wiltshire and translates for its members in easy to understand and relatable posts on social media and their home page that highlight concrete examples of impact investments.
This podcast starts with chemistry - which was Jenniferâs initial focus at university, then followed by a pivot into accounting and ultimately public pensions. Although her use of her science background has been limited since graduation we do draw a little on the themes of connections â which Wiltshire seeks to create for its beneficiaries â as well as catalysts â and we think about the drivers behind the fundâs very intentional and well telegraphed sustainable investing policy.
We dig in a little into the nuts and bolts of this strategy â examining the underlying funds â including sustainable equities, climate tech and venture and impact investing including renewable infrastructure and affordable housing. We speak about the powerful communications policy that is employed and why Wiltshire prioritizes this â which is about creating connection with its beneficiaries â encouraging them to relate to their pension and engage with it in the most meaningful way possible. The preponderance of women among the beneficiaries underscores the importance of seeing the value of diversity and inclusion expressed as much as possible and this is another objective of the sustainable policy that the fund pursues.
This podcast is a lively snapshot of a fund and a leader that has met their moment.

Penny Green finally retired from the investment industry in June following an over 30-year career. She started her career in pensions with TPAS, where she was Deputy Chief Executive when she left, then became Chief Executive of SAUL, where, over the past four years I have had the privilege of working with her on the investment committee. Upon retiring from the Chief Executive role in 2014, she became an Independent Trustee with BESTrustees, and her portfolio included a Trustee role at SAUL and Chair of an organization focused on raising standards of pension administration. She was President of the Pensions Management Institute for two years.
Like many guests, Pennyâs entry into the pensions arena was not planned â but it was serendipitous in that she found she was fascinated by the area. We discuss her ascent into leadership roles and some of the twists and turns that her career path took. There were some highs and lows in there, which Penny discusses with her trademark âmatter of factnessâ and transparency.
We spend some time on her âmembers firstâ philosophy and examine how this is enough to guide a professional to do the right thing always, stay focused and centered on what is right. We also discuss leadership style and how different styles can fit different phases of a firmâs growth and shift then to the growing web of regulation that is now governing trustee roles and responsibilities. We end with a discussion of the plans that Penny has for her next chapter in what promises to be a well-earned rest from a career of service in pensions.This episode is supported by PIMCO, a global leader in active fixed income with deep expertise across public and private markets.
