26 May 2023
AIST supports the overarching themes identified and proposed for the Measuring What Matters framework but would like to see age-based inclusion specifically recognised, alongside the existing recognition of gender and First Nations people, as a factor that can disproportionately influence policy outcomes.
19 May 2023
AIST supports the important work undertaken by AFCA and understands the intent of the proposed amendments to the AFCA Rules and Operational Guidelines. Member funds that participated in the feedback provided both general and specific recommendations in relation to the proposed changes. Specific comments and recommendations related to individual proposals are set out in the body of the submission.
16 May 2023
AIST welcomes APRA’s draft instrument to exempt a specified class of persons from compliance with the change of control and ownership provisions of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SIS Act). AIST supports APRA’s approach to minimising governance and administrative obligations on super funds given the dual governance requirements of Prudential Standard SPS 520 Fit and Proper.
05 May 2023
AIST supports the amendments that move information currently contained within the SIS Regulations to the Corporations Regulations. AIST raises concerns about the proposed changes to the regulations dealing with the annual report (as distinct from the annual financial report) and annual member meeting notice requirements.
02 May 2023
AIST welcomes the Government's review of the performance proposals to extent the time horizon of performance testing t 10 years, and its extension to some Choice products. AIST makes recommendations to improve some investment benchmarks, and the letters sent about products failing the test.
17 April 2023
AIST supports the proposed policy to reduce the superannuation tax concessions available to individuals that have total superannuation balances that exceed $3 million. Given the very limited application of the measure to members of profit-to-member funds, AIST supports an approach that minimises administration costs to funds and their members.
06 April 2023
AIST supports the intent of the Privacy Act Review (the Review) to increase protections for personal information and to align Australian Privacy Principles (APP) with best practice international standards.
31 March 2023
AIST strongly supports both enshrining an objective of superannuation into legislation, and the wording of the objective proposed in this consultation. The proposed wording is clear, concise and covers many fundamental principles against which future changes can be assessed and measured while reinforcing much of the common understanding of the purpose of super.
29 March 2023
AIST calls on the government to measure and report on the extent to which menopausal symptoms impact women’s employment and retirement decisions, and how these impact their super balances and retirement incomes.
