Regulation, customers and technology driving change Regulatory Change Changing Customer Demands Technology Superannuation guarantee step-up to 12% by 2019/20 will lead to increased competition and consolidation FOFA provisions for scaled and self service advice will drive growth of simple, affordable and scalable advice models Increasing compliance costs will require increased economies of scale Ageing population increasing focus on Superannuation and Life Insurance Current low risk appetite and changing demographics is seeing increased focus on different asset classes Customers want to be more in control of their activities, with strong growth in self managed superannuation Internet is accepted method for managing finances with nearly 70% of consumers going online for bank transfers and bill payments Detailed information and resources readily available online Online and self directed choices will continue to grow at a faster rate than the market 6
