25 May 2021
AIST supports the objectives of the Your Future Your Super package to hold super funds to account for their performance, address the creation of unintended multiple accounts, empower members and increase transparency and accountability. AIST does not believe the legislation or regulations will deliver on these objectives.

AIST acknowledges the further clarity and guidance APRA has provided in this iteration but calls on APRA to seek mandatory SuperStream insurance data fields to better promote member insurance interests. AIST also calls for further guidance on independent certification arrangements, timing, and process; and to clarify expectations for members leaving employer supported insurance arrangements.

AIST supports the intent of the Bill. Superannuation assets are already highly regulated and protected, and these measures must be applied in a way that avoids duplication, uncertainly and unnecessary cost. AIST makes recommendations to support the efficient implantation of the legislation and associated rules within superannuation.
AIST supports the proposal to record all complaints, provide reasons and that reporting to ASIC is needed. We submit that certain aspects of the data framework must be appropriately designed to avoid both operational inefficiencies and potential harm to vulnerable members.
12 February 2021
AIST is concerned that the content of the revised draft Standard is overly focused on issues related to ADIs and APRA-regulated insurance entities and does not consider the different remuneration features of RSE licensees.

AIST welcomes the Board of Taxation’s review of capital gains tax roll-overs and appreciate the opportunity to make a submission on the second phase of the consultation.
29 January 2021
The submission reiterates policy recommendations made in recent years that remain unaddressed, and makes proposals directly related to the interaction between the superannuation system and the COVID-19-induced economic downturn. This should include ensuring that Early Release of Super under the Government’s 2020 initiative is assessed, and fully audited and reviewed.
