ASIC’s 2026 Priorities: What Super Funds Need to Know

#18. Co-hosts Sarah Penn and Neil Benson discuss ASIC’s 2026 priorities and what they mean for super funds.

Private credit risks: ASIC flags concerns about retail exposure to private market credit products. Experience of fund managers and transparency are under the spotlight.

Operational failures: Claims delays, cyber resilience, fraud and poor IT get a special mention - 'nuf said really!

Aggressive product marketing: will be stopping. We hope.

Audit and valuation standards: Poor quality sustainability reporting and inconsistent unlisted asset valuations—ASIC wants more evidence and comparability between funds.

Plus, a cook's tour of the ASIC priorities that are 'super adjacent'.
