29 September 2017
AIST submits that it is imperative that superannuation fund members and funds are not detrimentally impacted by the proposal to replace the Superannuation Complaints Tribunal with a new one-stop-shop. It is vital for the industry to be consulted in relation to many legislative and non-legislative measures associated with the Bill.

AIST recommends that the outcomes assessment outlined in the Bill be modified in order to reflect the importance of net returns above any other criteria in determining the appropriateness of MySuper product offerings and that the assessment should also apply to Choice products.

AIST supports the display of product names in ATO Online, but recommends changing the current listings of product names in the Fund Validation Service to improve fund name recognition by members. However, resolution of this issue does not address AIST’s wider concerns about the proposed online choice of fund form.
21 August 2017
This submission reiterates AIST’s strong support for the legislated but not yet implemented system for selecting default superannuation funds. Even without the enhanced quality filter arising from the legislated system, the existing model has delivered out-performance for default members and provided many benefits to the greater economy.
11 August 2017
AIST welcomes the proposed changes which will remove loopholes that allow employers to reduce the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) entitlements of employees who use salary sacrifice arrangements.
