This exposure draft rectifies many of the issues identified during consultation on the new measures introduced as part of the 2016 Budget. AIST strongly supports these changes in principle, however reserves the right to make further comment in May.

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.

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).

Employer superannuation non-compliance remains a serious problem and calls for an automated and systematic response, as well as requiring more resources for managing complaints. AIST argues for ATO and Government to prioritise initiatives to address these challenges and for the success of these initiatives to be monitored and evaluated.
AIST thanks APRA for the opportunity to comment on this draft PPG. AIST supports all assistance that can be provided to trustees to facilitate super fund consolidation. Such consolidation will ensure that the benefits of scale can be provided to fund members.
