Louise du Pre-Alba has left her role as senior executive leader - super funds at the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), an ASIC spokesman has confirmed.
There have recently been structural refinements of stakeholder groups at the watchdog, including a merger of the investment management and superannuation groups.
Du Pre-Alba managed a number of ASIC Superannuation Choice projects and also worked on recommendations leading to the Safety in Superannuation legislation, including superannuation trustee licensing by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), according to ASIC.
The proposed reforms have been described as a key step towards delivering better products and retirement experiences for members, with many noting financial advice remains the “urgent missing piece” of the puzzle.
APRA’s latest data has revealed that superannuation funds spent $1.3 billion on advice fees, with the vast majority sent to external financial advisers.
Cbus Super has unveiled Advice Essentials Plus, a new service offering affordable financial advice to both members and their partners.
The fund has launched a new tool to help deliver personalised financial education and digital personal advice to eligible members.
