Global markets have started 2026 in chaotic fashion, with wild swings in stocks, a plunging dollar and fresh questions about everything from gold to AI. So what does all that mean for Australia’s super funds — and the retirement savings of millions of workers?

This week on the Bloomberg Australia Podcast, host Chris Bourke is joined by AustralianSuper CEO Paul Schroder, who runs the nation’s largest super fund with some A$410 billion under management. They discuss how the fund is navigating market volatility, exposure to US tech and AI, the case for staying invested through uncertainty, and why Australia’s super system still isn’t ready for the retirement wave ahead.
