AvSuper chief executive Michelle Griffiths said the fund was able to meet the new requirements with minimal changes.
Under the new licence, AvSuper will be able to offer members a MySuper option that includes: a single investment option; a standard set of fees that meet legislated requirements; and default levels of death and disability insurance.
