CMSF 2012 Overview
Welcome to CMSF 2012: Restructuring
for the future, not rebuilding the past
2012 is going to be a year of significant change for the super
industry. After almost three years of debate about the
Stronger Super and FOFA reforms, we are now at the business end of
the equation.
As the various reforms pass through Parliament and become law,
the industry will face the challenge of implementing a raft of
changes that touch on almost every aspect of superannuation as we
know it. Many of the old ways of doing things will disappear
to be replaced by new procedures and expectations.
In the first six months alone, AIST has calculated there are
more than 22 deadlines concerning changes to superannuation
contribution regulations, administration requirements, SMSFs and
FOFA. The industry must also prepare for a new regulatory
environment under APRA's standard-making powers and the race will
be on to have a MySuper-compliant option ready by the 2013 launch
date.
Meanwhile, we can expect more global uncertainty and volatility
on investment markets.
With so much taking place in such a relatively short time, CMSF
2012 is not to be missed. This thought-provoking historic
conference is also a great opportunity to hear the views of local
and international speakers on the next big policy issues, such as
post-retirement and longevity risk.

I look forward to seeing you at CMSF 2012
