Illustrative example II
As at 30 June 20XX, Hybrid Superannuation Plan (the Plan) has 51,109 defined contribution members and 23,918 defined benefit members. The defined contribution part of the Plan is open to new members. All four of the defined benefit plans in the Plan are closed to new members. The defined contribution members have accounts that are credited or debited each year with contributions and a proportionate share of net investment income and expenses (including income tax expense) of the Plan. The defined benefit members have promised benefits that are determined on the basis of various formulae based on members’ salaries in the final years before they retire.

Note A – Defined contribution member liabilities
Defined contribution members bear the investment risk relating to the underlying assets and unit prices used to measure defined contribution member liabilities. Unit prices are updated each day for movements in investment markets.
Hybrid Superannuation Plan manages market risks, including foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, commodity price risk and equity price risk by obtaining exposure to major asset classes through investment managers with highly-diversified portfolios.
The credit risk on investments in bonds and similar interest-bearing instruments is managed by selecting relevant fund managers that have well-established frameworks and supporting policies for managing credit risk across their portfolios. Those policies include managing concentration of credit risks and managing the balance between secured and unsecured debt.
The Plan closely monitors the inflows of contributions and the withdrawals from its various superannuation plans with a view to maintaining an adequate balance of liquid assets at all times to facilitate paying benefits to any exiting members within the statutory timelines.
Note B – Defined benefit member liabilities
In aggregate for the Plan’s four defined benefit superannuation plans, there were no unexpected events that changed defined benefit member liabilities materially. In line with general market expectations, discount rates are slightly higher at the current reporting date compared with the previous reporting date across all four plans, which had the effect of reducing defined benefit member liabilities. The Plan has no information that would lead it to adjust the assumptions around salary adjustment rates, pension index rates, resignations and mortality, which are all unchanged from the previous reporting period.
The Plan engages qualified actuaries on an annual basis to measure the defined benefit member liabilities in each of its four defined benefit plans. The Plan uses sensitivity analysis to monitor the potential impact of changes to key variables about which assumptions need to be made. The Plan has identified two assumptions (discount rate and rate of salary adjustment) for which changes are reasonably possible that would have a material impact on the amount of the liabilities.
The assumed discount rate for the four plans has been determined by reference to the investment returns expected on the investment portfolio that reflects the opportunities reasonably available to the Plan in investment markets, which also reflects the Plan’s actual investments and investment strategy in respect of defined benefit member liabilities. The assumed discount rate is the same for each of the four defined benefit plans.
Defined member benefits in each of the Plan’s four plans are based on an average of each member’s salary at specified anniversary dates in each of the last three years of their expected membership of their plan. The assumed annual salary adjustments for each of the entity’s four plans has been determined by reference to the Wage Price Index produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and in consultation with the employer-sponsors. The rate is the same for each of the ABC, OPQ and RST defined benefit plans. XYZ members are in an industry that is expected to experience generally higher than average salary adjustments.
The other variables about which assumptions have been made in measuring defined benefit member liabilities and for which changes are not considered reasonably possible, or for which reasonably possible changes would not be expected to have a material effect, include pension index rates, mortality rates and resignations.
The following are sensitivity calculations on a univariate basis for the discount rate and rate of salary adjustment assumptions for the XYZ defined benefit plan and for the ABC, OPQ and RST defined benefit plans in aggregate.
| Assumption for XYZ plan | Assumed at reporting date | Reasonably possible change | Amount of (increase) decrease in member benefit liability – $000 |
|---|
| Discount rate | 5.0% | +0.5%–0.5% | 2,280(2,549) |
| Salary adjustment rate | 4.0% | +1.0%–1.0% | (3,001)3,350 |
| Assumption for ABC, OPQ and RST plans | Assumed at reporting date | Reasonably possible change | Amount of (increase) decrease in member benefit liability – $000 |
|---|
| Discount rate | 5.0% | +0.5%–0.5% | 4,378(4,809) |
| Salary adjustment rate | 3.0% | +1.0%–1.0% | (5,762)6,143 |
Note C – Operational risk reserve
The Trustee has assessed an operational risk reserve of approximately 0.25% of funds under management as appropriate for the Plan in respect of both defined contribution member interests and defined benefit member interests.

| Defined contribution membership | 5,657 |

Note D – Investment reserve
The Investment reserve comprises the difference between the cumulative amount of investment income (net of investment expenses) allocated to members’ accounts compared with the cumulative investment income (net of investment expenses) earned.
Note E – Defined benefit plans that are (over) or under funded
| Note | $000 |

| XYZ | H | 6,957 |
| | 49,581 |
Note F – plan ABC
Based on the existing contribution rate of the employer-sponsor of plan ABC, member benefits are projected, based on current assumptions, to be fully funded within the next two financial years.
Note G – plan OPQ
The employer-sponsor of plan OPQ intends to reduce contributions to the minimum amount required to meet its superannuation guarantee obligations, which is projected, based on current assumptions, to eliminate the surplus to zero within three years.
Note H – plans RST and XYZ
The employer-sponsors of plans RST and XYZ intend to increase their contributions for a period of three financial years to a level that is projected, based on current assumptions, to result in member liabilities being fully funded by the end of those three years.
