22.01.2022 The FSC welcomes the Government’s package of reforms to reduce the erosion of Australian’s superannuation balances as well as promoting consolidation of super accounts as a positive policy step that will lead to better retirement outcomes. However, the proposal to change arrangements for insurance in superannuation from opt-out to opt-in for under 25s could lead to some younger Australians who need insurance, especially those in high risk jobs or those with young families, slipping through the safety net. http://bit.ly/2KINUrw #Budget2018

07.01.2022 The Parliamentary Friends of Insurance Health & Wellbeing Challenge is underway! Deborah O'Neill, Senator Dean Smith and Terri Butler MP are all taking part. They've been fitted with wearable devices as part of the #PFoI Health & Wellness challenge. We'll be monitoring their physical activity, heart rate and sleep. Their data will be reviewed next week and insights gained into their #health and wellbeing experiences. Wearable devices are currently revolutionising the insuran...ce industry and life insurers are becoming increasingly involved in improving the health and wellbeing of their customers. Not only does this make a difference to the lives of their customers, it reduces claims costs and overall health costs; this is good for insurers, eases the burden on Government, and helps Australians live longer, healthier, better lives. We'll be checking in with our #PFoI participants during the week to see how they're going! Who'll be best off?

02.01.2022 "...the Financial Services Council yesterday launched a report on innovation in #superannuation, in partnership with Tailored Superannuation Solutions. The report said a technology-driven tailored system could boost investment returns in low-fee #MySuper funds from an industry average of 3.5 per cent a year to 4.5 per cent. It would do this by investing according on a time to retirement basis, which would tailor investment strategy for disengaged members. A long-acknowled...ged shortcoming of the superannuation system is that it fails to promote engagement, the FSC report said. This has stifled competition and, in turn, innovation. The report found nearly 15 million Australians, out of a total 17 million with super, have not chosen an investment option for their savings.

The report said GROW Super and the tech-focused Spaceship funds could shake up the market by forcing funds to reconsider their propositions..."
