ASFA strong in the eyes of many
The Association of Superannuation Funds Australia (ASFA) remains the dominant organisation in the superannuation industry.
That is the bottom line finding of the latest IUS/Super Review Super Outlook survey conducted in March, including at the recent Conference of Major Superannuation Funds, in Hobart.
Survey respondents were asked to declare whether they were members of ASFA, the Investment and Financial Services Association (IFSA), the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (Australia), or the Fund Executive Association Limited.
The survey results revealed that ASFA boasted more than 70 per cent membership among respondents compared to 8.8 per cent for IFSA.
On the question of which organisation had had more impact on determining Government policy, ASFA also emerged on top with 72.6 per cent, followed by IFSA with 16.7 per cent, and the AIST with 10.7 per cent.
