The issues paper covered a range of issues on which the Commission sought information and feedback, and was intended to assist you in preparing a submission.
Initial submissions were due by 20 April 2016.
In developing the criteria, the Commission was to have regard to operational efficiency, allocative efficiency and dynamic efficiency. The Commission was also required to consider the nature of competition in the superannuation industry, and the effect of government policy on the competitiveness and efficiency of the system.
