 CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR AUSTRALIAN ETHICAL INVESTMENT LIMITED Australian Ethical's chief executive John McMurdo's adventure into the world of mountain biking kicked into gear more than a decade ago. He speaks to Ally Selby about the discipline's surprising similarities to business. |
The super industry has been up in arms to ASIC about this for years yet ASIC has been the main culprit, insisting that PDSs contain more and more information - 99% meaningless to ordinary superannuation members.
So why have advisers for years had to give out what is now recognised as meaningless information? Just a waste of time. Compliant advice has never been the equivalent of good advice. ASIC has never understood this. No wonder people try to DIY their super, insurances and investments. No wonder people don't like paying for "advice" when there's so much meaningless information involved. When will we be allowed to get back to basics???
ASIC you are the one who wants the disclosure. You started this war. Don't complain that it doesn't work. Of course no one reads the PDS. You didn't need to conduct market research to discover that.
