Australian Legislative changes have enabled superannuation assets to grow faster than those of any other OECD country; with Funds under management having passed $1.3 trillion.
Despite this growth, the number of Superannuation providers is declining due to increased competition brought about by:
- Choice of Fund legislation
- Increased costs of compliance, and
- Additional pressure brought about by the recommendations of the Cooper review which envisages only several mega-funds in the future and is driving the sector to further reduce costs through scale.
In this environment, companies need to offer more attractive products and streamlined services to engage and retain membership.
