Signature Reporting: Three Defining Works

Aware Super hires data and AI executive to accelerate tech adoption

Fry's 2025 investigation into Aware Super's AI strategy revealed how the AU$185 billion fund leverages machine learning for portfolio optimization. Through exclusive interviews with C-suite executives, she documented the fund's transition from legacy systems to predictive analytics models, including proprietary data about their real estate valuation algorithms.

This public service journalism piece combined forensic accounting analysis with victim testimonials to expose new financial fraud tactics. Fry worked with cybersecurity experts to create a detection framework used by ASIC in their 2024 consumer protection guidelines.

Beat Analysis & Pitching Guidance

1. Focus on Institutional Investment Innovations

Fry prioritizes stories about pension fund technology adoption, particularly AI implementations that demonstrate measurable ROI. Pitches should include verifiable data points from fund managers or technology providers. Recent coverage of Aware Super's predictive analytics deployment shows her interest in concrete case studies over theoretical discussions.

2. Regulatory Impact Analysis

With her Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning, Fry excels at explaining complex regulations. Successful pitches often pair legislative changes with real-world examples, like her 2023 analysis of APRA's liquidity requirements for infrastructure funds.
