Members of QSuper have filed a class action in the Federal Court on allegations they were overcharged for life insurance policies.
Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(1571) "Brought forward by Shine Lawyers, QSuper has been accused of breaching obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 and the Superannuation Industry Act 1993 for failing to notify members of premium changes, which resulted in financial losses for up to 140,000 members.
“QSuper changed their life insurance policy on 1 July 2016 and failed to adequately notify its members of how to get cheaper premiums,” class actions practice leader Joshua Aylward said on Thursday (25 November).
“Significantly, most of the fund members impacted are Queensland government employees and their spouses, teachers and health industry workers like doctors and psychiatrists.”
It’s also alleged that white-collar workers were charged the same increased premiums despite not having the same risk factors in their work.
Mr Aylward alleged that QSuper took advantage of its members, with tens of thousand losing money on investments.
QSuper has been contacted for comment.
The class action comes after the ATO launched an audit of the super giant over a suspected $200 million franking credit stripping scheme in October.
QSuper confirmed at the time that “one matter” had become subject to an audit by the ATO and disclosed to members in the fund’s annual report.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(2664) "The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority has reported total superannuation assets reached $3.4 trillion at the end of the third quarter, 17.5 per cent higher than the third quarter of 2020 and 2.8 per cent higher than the last quarter.
$2.32 trillion of the total assets were in APRA-regulated funds, up 19 per cent annually, of which $922.9 billion belonged to MySuper products, 23.7 per cent higher than a year earlier.
Super assets had maintained the “strong investment performance and positive contributions growth achieved over the year”, according to the regulator.
During the latest quarter, super contributions fell by 15.4 per cent to $34.6 billion on the back of lower employer and personal member contributions.
Total member contributions were down 25.6 per cent to $9.9 billion for the quarter.
However, on an annual basis, member contributions have risen 43.6 per cent to $33.5 billion, including a 45 per cent rise for personal contributions to $31.2 billion.
“Personal contributions over the quarter to September 2021, while reduced from the June 2021 quarter, have persisted to remain at a higher level than long term trend,” APRA said.
Employer contributions fell 10.5 per cent to $24.7 billion for the quarter but were up 3.8 per cent for the year to $100.6 billion.
Total contributions remain 11.6 per cent higher on an annual basis at $134.1 billion.
Meanwhile, benefit payments in the past year have dropped 27.1 per cent to $81.8 billion.
“The decline over the year ending September 2021 reflects the end of early release scheme withdrawals being incorporated in yearly data, with lump sum payments also declining by 41.2 per cent over the year to $42.5 billion,” APRA said.
Lump-sum and pension payments were both now back in line with long-term trend levels, according to APRA.
Quarterly net contribution flows were down 37.3 per cent to $13.7 billion, while net contribution flows for the year also reflected the end of the early release scheme’s influence with a surge of 428.4 per cent to $53.9 billion.
Australia’s super funds are currently on track to deliver double-digit gains, according to SuperRatings, with an 11.2 per cent rise year-to-date.
Growth funds are also set to mark their tenth consecutive year of positive returns.

hinting at possible Parliament action.
Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(3927) "Earlier this month, Cbus confirmed it had approached the Supreme Court to seek permission to amend its trust deed to build a special pool of capital to help it service future regulatory penalties or fines.
The fund, much like QSuper before it, had requested a new fee-charging power to help it grapple with incoming changes that prevent funds from using members’ money to pay fines. The changes are expected to dearly impact the solvency of industry funds, which have low shareholder capital.
But, speaking at the AFR Super and Wealth Summit on Monday (22 November), the superannuation minister said she was watching industry funds closely.
“Recently, a number of super funds applied to the courts seeking permission to charge members a new fee to build a trustee financial contingency reserve,” Ms Hume said.
“Let’s not kid ourselves as to what this really is; taking member’s money out of their retirement savings to set up a pool of funds – owned by the trustee – to ensure they can pay for penalties due to their own misconduct.
“As you’ve just heard me say, so many of the government reforms are about lowering fees and protecting retirement savings. So the application of a whole new category of fee charged to members, I feel, is a retrograde step.”
Ms Hume hinted new laws could be enacted to prevent funds from using members’ money to save “their own skins”.
“If it appears that trustees are confusing their own interests – saving their own skins – with the best financial interests of members whose money is unlikely to be imperilled by a change of trustee, I would expect regulators to take action. And the Parliament might too,” the minister said.
“And if trustees think otherwise, perhaps it’s a question that should be put to members at their Annual Members Meeting? I’m not sure how many members would vote to give away some of their hard-earned retirement savings to bail out a trustee for wrongdoing. Particularly when trustees and those organisations that stand behind them have their own resources which they could alternatively draw on rather than milking their members,” Ms Hume added.
Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Cbus told InvestorDaily that the fund would approach this matter carefully, vowing to “gradually” build a level of capital that supports its financial resilience.
Cbus, the spokesperson said, “will build this capital through a fee charged against Cbus reserves, which cannot be more than 0.10 per cent of Cbus net assets over a biennial period but which is expected to be significantly less than this.
“The legislation disproportionately impacts industry funds which may need to fund a separate reserve of trustee capital to meet any potential fines or penalties issued by regulators.”
Last month, the Supreme Court of Queensland declared QSuper could impose a new fee on members in order to pay any regulatory penalties or fines.
At the time, QSuper confirmed the court declared the trustee is “justified” in amending the trust deed to raise a fee as a prudent response to recent legislative changes.
“This will support the ongoing financial resilience of the trustee and its ongoing ability to perform its duty to manage the fund in members’ best financial interests,” QSuper said.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(3284) "Australia’s superannuation industry needs to increase its focus on the post-retirement phase and offer a greater range of retirement income products, according to Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) deputy chair Helen Rowell.
Speaking at the AFR Super and Wealth Summit, Ms Rowell said that there was currently an imbalance in the focus on pre-retirement and post-retirement planning.
Despite Australia’s $3.3 trillion super industry growing to 156 APRA-regulated funds with thousands of different products and options, Ms Rowell said that the post-retirement phase had failed to keep up.
Compared to members in the accumulation phase, who APRA’s Margaret Cole recently described as being “spoilt by choice”, super members in the retirement phase were faced with an “under-developed market where only a relatively small number of companies offer a limited number of options”, according to Ms Rowell.
“The lack of attention given to the post-retirement phase by both consumers and industry is largely a product of history and the evolving maturity of the industry,” said Ms Rowell.
“Given the relative youth of the compulsory superannuation system, it is only a recent phenomenon where more Australians are retiring with sufficiently large balances to justify the purchase of annuity or other retirement income products.”
Many Australians die while still holding about 90 per cent of the assets they held at retirement, primarily due to fears about running out of money.
“While retirees are ultimately entitled to use their savings any way they choose, their quality of life could be compromised if their choices are not well-informed and they can’t choose from a range of good quality products,” said Ms Rowell.
“Yet in spite of the size of the potential market, and the clear need for better retirement income solutions for retirees, there are relatively few products available, and demand for them is low.”
About 3.6 million Australians are expected to move from the accumulation phase to the retirement phase in the next 10 years with approximately $750 billion in aggregate retirement savings.
Based on this significant transition, Ms Rowell said that super funds that choose to leave the retirement income market to their competitors would be taking a risk.
However, they must reflect on the response to previous retirement income products that have been abandoned due to a lack of demand.
“If the wealth industry wants their offerings to meet a more successful fate, they need to innovate – to somehow both design and offer retirement product options that meet retirees’ needs and persuade them that they need them,” she said.
In the development of these innovative products, Ms Rowell said that super funds must take into account the needs, motivations and fears of their customers and design their products accordingly.
“Above all, they need to help change hearts and minds around why Australia mandates retirement savings,” said Ms Rowell

According to KPMG’s latest Superannuation Transformation and Consolidation report, the 12 months to October 2021 saw a total of 15 mergers within the superannuation sector.
While the report noted that this represents the highest level of merger activity KPMG had seen in a single year, they added that this consolidation mostly consisted of smaller funds being absorbed into larger ones.
From 2020 to 2021, the average size of the transferring funds shrank from $38 billion to just $4 billion. Meanwhile, the average receiving fund jumped from $44 billion to $76 billion.
KPMG superannuation advisory partner David Bardsley said that the firm expects this trend in consolidation among smaller players in the sector to persist.
“Currently, many funds are faced with the challenges arising from a lack of scale – and they are proactively investigating possible merger options in order to improve outcomes for their members.
Mr Bardsley said that recent concerns raised by regulators like APRA over mergers between funds with less than $30 billion in funds under management would drive additional smaller operators towards mergers with larger funds.
“So-called bus-stop transactions are deemed less likely to deliver sustainable medium- and long-term benefits and mega-funds look to deliver on the promise of past consolidation transactions,” he said.
Speaking at a recent Financial Services Council webinar, APRA executive board member Margaret Cole said that the regulator doesn’t have a “rigid” view of what size a fund needs to be to compete with mega-funds but predicted that smaller funds would continue to be at a disadvantage.
“Any fund with less than $10 billion, without some other redeeming feature, will definitely struggle to stay competitive into the future,” she suggested.
That being said, Ms Cole said that APRA doesn’t want to see trustees rushing into poorly planned, sub-optimal or “bus-stop” mergers.
“Our view remains that trustees of smaller funds should ideally seek to merge with a larger, better performing partner rather than another small fund – especially one that is also underperforming,” she said.
KPMG’s latest check-in with the superannuation sector also raised concerns around how industry mergers are communicated to members.
The report found that only 20 per cent of merged fund members were aware that a merger had taken place.
Mr Bardsley said that there is a proven link between effective engagement with fund members and transaction awareness.
“Funds need to continue to build engagement across the entirety of their membership to build awareness of transactions and the potential impacts to their members,” he said.

Chant West reported that the median growth fund gained 0.6 per cent during October, while the median balanced fund rose 0.2 per cent.
With only one month of negative returns so far in 2021, growth funds are up 11.2 per cent year-to-date, while balanced funds have grown 8.4 per cent.
In line with earlier predictions from SuperRatings, Chant West said that funds were likely to close out the year with double-digit returns on the back of an unexpectedly positive result in 2020.
“Despite the severe downturn in February and March 2020, when markets first reacted to the COVID crisis, the median growth fund finished last calendar year up 3.6 per cent,” said Chant West senior investment research manager Mano Mohankumar.
“A positive result for 2021 – which now looks pretty certain – would represent the 10th positive calendar year in succession.”
Listed shares were the biggest contributor to higher returns for growth funds in October, according to Chant West.
While Australian shares recorded a return of only 0.1 per cent for the month, international shares rose by 5.6 per cent in hedged terms or 1.7 per cent unhedged due to the appreciation of the Australian dollar.
Strong company earnings in the US, Europe and the UK were major contributors to higher share prices, weighed down somewhat by global supply chain disruptions.
“Closer to home, concerns around the Chinese property sector and potential spill-over effects eased slightly after Evergrande avoided default on its debts for now,” said Mr Mohankumar.
Growth funds have now risen 29 per cent since the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and are 14 per cent higher than the pre-pandemic high reached in January 2020.
Looking longer term, Chant West reported that growth super funds continue to outperform their targets.
The median growth fund has returned 8.2 per cent p.a. since the introduction of compulsory super in 1992 or 5.8 per cent when factoring in inflation, ahead of the typical target of 3.5 per cent.
