Anti-hawking measures aimed at stopping consumers receiving unsolicited contact about super products begin this July. How will they affect what you can and cannot say to existing and prospective members about superannuation? This webinar will unpack what the new measures mean for funds and client-facing staff.
Are you in a member or employer facing role? Do you prepare and distribute marketing materials about your fund’s products? If so, then this session is for you!
New obligations come into effect on 1 July 2021 for super funds and their staff in relation to Anti-Hawking measures. These measures aim to prevent consumers from receiving unsolicited contact regarding super products...but what does ‘unsolicited’ mean? As the definition of hawking includes the selling of financial products during a meeting, call or other initiated contact to discuss an unrelated financial product, just how will this impact what you can and can’t say to existing and prospective members about superannuation. For example, can you talk about your fund’s products to a meeting attended by members and non-members? Can you discuss your pension product with a member who is attending a seminar on your accumulation product? Join us, as we unpack everything you need to know about what these news laws will mean for you.
