That's all well and good, though Corporate Super is still unworkable in light of MySuper and FOFA.
The situation is now that when a member leaves their Employer and is retained by the Fund Manager, they will continue to be charged a fee (both Choice and MySuper members) that used to be paid on to the Planner but will now be retained by the Fund Manger.
