It’s kiss the ring week for Australia’s superannuation sector. A month after Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Australia’s ambassador to the United States, Kevin Rudd, hosted a series of meetings for super industry leaders in Washington and New York, the big dogs of American capital are making the long trek Down Under for the second annual Asia Pacific Financial and Innovation Symposium in Melbourne on Tuesday.

Blackstone heavyweight Jon Gray, Apollo Global Management president Jim Zelter and private equity legend Henry Cornell are among the big US names who will appear at the summit, which is the brainchild of Hostplus and the Victorian government.
