MLC Business Super aligns with retail platform
MLC Business Super has taken advantage of some of its retail investment options, aligning its investment menu with the MLC Masterkey Fundamentals platform and adding nine new investment options.
"Any new developments that come through the Masterkey platform we can offer to business super," MLC Business Super general manager Michael Mulholland said.
Mulholland said the changes to Business Super had been developed over the past three years in response to a need for better customer engagement.
It would "revolutionise the operations area, the products area and the member experience in particular," he said.
MLC Business Super had operated as a traditional superannuation player, Mulholland said, a mode of operation which no longer "cut it" due to changes in communication methods like mobile and social.
Mulholland expected further changes to take place around the business' commission structure and remuneration to fit in with the Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) reforms.
MLC has also partnered with DST Global Solutions (Bluedoor) to roll out a number of changes to the MLC Masterkey Super and Pension Fundamentals products.
DST said it was enhancing the MLC Masterkey platform and Horizon series managed funds.
"We required a complete solution capable of integrating into our existing technologies, and selected Bluedoor as the best choice following a global tender process," Andrew Barnett, general manager of MLC Retirement Solutions, said.
MLC plan to release a number of retirement guarantee products for retail customers.

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.
