AIST welcomes the certainty that these regulations will bring for providers of innovative income streams. These draft regulations would be improved through limitations on unreasonably long deferral periods, better disclosure of pricing methodologies and better strategy with regards to the declining capital access schedule.
15 March 2017
In these joint submissions AIST and ISA generally welcome the proposals to impose obligations upon financial product issuers and distributors and to provide ASIC with product intervention powers to reduce the likelihood of consumers being mis-sold products that are not aligned with their financial situation, objectives and needs.
10 March 2017
In our submission on this draft Law Companion Guideline, AIST raises a question around the policy intention of different treatment of death benefit income streams depending on whether these are reversionary or non-reversionary for the purposes of the transfer balance cap.
AIST strongly supports the introduction of an ASIC industry funding model and the move towards greater transparency. However, AIST does not support carve-outs from complying with the Government’s Cost Recovery Guidelines (CRG).
