How women become super investors
18 Mar 2026
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.
You’ll hear personal stories about teaching the next generation how to budget and invest, why compound interest is the most powerful formula in finance and how small, consistent actions can meaningfully change retirement outcomes.
What you’ll learn:
- How women build confidence in finance
- Why backing yourself changes everything
- Why women hold back from investing
- How to grow your super strategically
- When to take control of your finances
- Why representation in finance matters
- How small money decisions compound over time
- How to support the next generation
