The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) have issued a new set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the implementation of the retirement income covenant (the covenant) introduced by the Australian Government.
The FAQs published today follow the joint letter released in March 2022 containing APRA’s and ASIC’s expectations of registrable superannuation entity (RSE) licensees in response to the covenant, and they aim at assisting RSE licensees with the development of their retirement income strategies.
