HUB24 Super Fund Under Increased Regulatory Scrutiny

Australia's prudential regulator APRA has tightened licensing conditions for the trustees of the HUB24 Super Fund, which manages A$55 billion ($39.39 billion) in assets. The fund faces scrutiny over deficiencies in its investment platform options and conflict of interest management.

APRA's Findings

APRA's review found deficiencies in how HUB24 adds new investment options, monitors and reports on those investments, and manages conflicts of interest. HUB24 stated that its investment governance and monitoring process is robust and aligned with best industry practice.

New Licensing Conditions

Under the tightened conditions, HUB24 must appoint an independent expert to review its platform investment options and develop a plan to address the shortfalls identified by APRA. The fund has 165,000 members.
