The new fee and cost disclosure requirements About RG 97 The new fee and cost disclosure requirements A presentation to Client Name Date Presented by Firstname Surname Jobtitle/Position September 2017

Summary There are new industry-wide regulatory fee and cost disclosure requirements.1 The changes aim to help clients compare fees and costs of different super, pension and managed investment products. Product Disclosure Statements (PDSs) now include more information to explain the costs of investing. From 1 December, customers’ statements will also reflect the changes. There’s no impact on clients’ investment performance after fees and costs. There’ll be some changes to the amounts and types of fees and costs stated in PDSs and client statements. However, there are no new fees or costs being charged, so clients won’t pay any more. The way MLC calculates investment performance hasn’t changed. There’s an interim process for producing SoAs from 30 Sept to early Dec 2017 (see slide 11). Later in this presentation, there are some examples of how our disclosure documents and online tools like the Fund Profile Tool will change to reflect the new disclosure requirements for fees and costs. It’s important to understand that the disclosure requirements aren’t fee increases or imposing new fee. The fees and costs disclosed may be higher than what was previously disclosed, but the actual fees and costs clients pay won’t change. There’s also no impact on after-fee performance. We still calculate performance in exactly the same way. 1The changes, introduced by ASIC, are summarised in updated Regulatory Guide 97 (‘RG97’). Note: ASIC continues to evolve their guidance for how fees and costs are to be disclosed. MLC supports ongoing changes to improve the comparability of super and investment products.

What are the disclosure changes? There are some changes to the types and amounts of fees stated in PDSs and customer statements. The key change is an expansion in the definition of indirect costs. These are generally costs incurred in underlying investment vehicles where a fund or investment option invests in private equity, unlisted property or hedge funds, or where a derivative strategy is used. This means deeper ‘look through’ into investment structures to identify all the costs for underlying investments. As a result, the indirect cost ratio disclosed for super products will generally increase and management costs for managed investment schemes will also increase where indirect costs are incurred.

What are the disclosure changes? cont Additional information and amounts will be disclosed for other costs of investing, including: transaction costs of buying and selling assets, borrowing costs such as loan establishment fees and interest payments, and property operating costs such as rates, staff costs and utilities associated with property investments.

What are the changes to super disclosure? Illustrative super PDS 3 What are the changes to super disclosure? Illustrative super PDS PDS Disclosure Pre-RG97 Post RG97 RG97 Change Summary Investment Fee 0.60% pa There is an expanded definition of “indirect costs”. Indirect costs must be included in the Investment Fee unless the trustee has elected to disclose them in the ICR (as is the case in this illustration). The indirect costs definition now explicitly covers: Underlying costs - costs incurred in underlying investment vehicles that are not paid directly out of the super fund. These costs are generally incurred where a fund or investment option invests in private equity, unlisted property or hedge funds. Derivative strategy costs - certain amounts incurred where derivative strategies are used which aim to protect a client's money from market movements such as changes in exchange rates must also be disclosed. Estimated Indirect Cost Ratio (ICR) 0.15% pa Some underlying costs were not required to be disclosed in the PDS 0.40% pa Administration Fee 0.45% pa Generally no RG97 change. Some funds may have been disclosing this fee net of tax and may now disclose a higher gross of tax amount. Buy / Sell Spread 0.10% Generally no RG97 change. Switching Fee NIL Exit Fee Advice Fees Other Fees and Costs – disclosed in the Additional Explanation of Fees and Costs section of the PDS Transaction and Operational Costs Amounts may not have been previously disclosed in the PDS 0.10% pa Total gross transaction and operational costs (such as brokerage and stamp duty) incurred in the previous financial year must now be disclosed. Borrowing Costs 0.05% pa Total borrowing costs (such as loan establishment fees and interest payments) incurred in the previous financial year must now be disclosed.

Sample Investment Menu for MLC super products For our super and pension products, fees and costs information is disclosed in the 8 page PDS and the Fee Brochure. Amounts for each option are in the Investment Menu. There are no changes to MLC Investment fees. Certain transaction costs that involve an actual payment (such as brokerage) are included in the ICR. The amount in the ICR is net of any amount recovered by a buy/sell spread. A breakdown of indirect costs is shown to highlight amounts paid for performance. Transaction costs that are not recovered by a buy/sell spread or included in the ICR are disclosed here. Later in this presentation, there are some examples of how our disclosure documents and online tools like the Fund Profile Tool will change to reflect the new disclosure requirements for fees and costs. It’s important to understand that the disclosure requirements aren’t fee increases or imposing new fee. The fees and costs disclosed may be higher than what was previously disclosed, but the actual fees and costs clients pay won’t change. There’s also no impact on after-fee performance. We still calculate performance in exactly the same way.

Sample PDS for MLC Wholesale products Fees and costs are set out in the PDS Fee and Cost Table. This is the Fee and Cost Table for MLC Wholesale Horizon 4. Indirect costs must be disclosed as part of Management costs, so total Management costs will generally be higher. This will flow through to SOAs and Customer Statements. A breakdown of indirect costs is shown to highlight amounts paid for performance. Most MLC funds will disclose performance amounts as costs. Later in this presentation, there are some examples of how our disclosure documents and online tools like the Fund Profile Tool will change to reflect the new disclosure requirements for fees and costs. It’s important to understand that the disclosure requirements aren’t fee increases or imposing new fee. The fees and costs disclosed may be higher than what was previously disclosed, but the actual fees and costs clients pay won’t change. There’s also no impact on after-fee performance. We still calculate performance in exactly the same way. In addition, other items including transaction and borrowing costs will be included in the Additional explanation of fees and costs section of the PDS.

Interim process for producing SoAs and RoAs From 30 September 2017 to early December 2017, data providers will flow the new Indirect Cost Ratios (ICRs) into financial planning software such as XPLAN. Aggregated fee and cost data won’t be available during this interim period. To ensure advisers provide compliant advice, they must follow the interim XPLAN process until they are notified that this period is over. It’s expected to be back to business as usual the beginning of December 2017. Resources to help advisers with the interim process are on the ‘Resources’ page of Adviser Online.
