ASIC and Treasury established a Superannuation Investment Working Group in September 2025 to review two specific superannuation disclosure obligations under Regulatory Guide 97. The working group, comprising representatives from superannuation funds, investment managers, consumer advocates, and government bodies, held meetings in September and October 2025 to examine whether stamp duty should be excluded as a disclosable transaction cost in product disclosure statements and periodic statements, and whether class order relief was needed for disclosing internally managed private credit arrangements in portfolio holdings. ASIC aimed to complete the targeted review by November 2025 to enable prompt implementation of any resulting actions. The review was deliberately limited in scope to these two issues. This correspondence documents Treasury's Assistant Secretary Ruth Moore's acceptance of an invitation to participate in the working group.
