ISN partners with funds on planner remuneration
The Industry Super Network (ISN) will be working with funds and the financial services industry to implement Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) reforms surrounding disclosure of ongoing personal advice fees.
ISN chief executive David Whiteley said transparency in disclosure of financial planner remuneration under the new reforms would assist the planning industry in transitioning to a "fully-fledged and highly respected profession".
Whiteley said the move would also help clients to make informed decisions about the advice they receive and how much they pay for it.
ISN welcomed the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's (ASIC's) guidance on compliance with the new disclosure requirements for ongoing personal advice fees.
"These measures in the FOFA reforms are filling a regulatory gap to ensure that much-needed disclosure is provided to all clients, both existing and new," he said.
ASIC had provided clear guidelines and used a facilitative approach to implementation, according to Whiteley.
"In doing so, it has addressed the practical concerns raised by retail institutions and planners in relation to applying these measures to existing and new client arrangements," he said.

A major super fund has defended its use of private markets in a submission to ASIC, asserting that appropriate governance and information-sharing practices are present in both public and private markets.
A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
