Completion of SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A)
This form is applicable to superannuation entities, excluding Small APRA Funds (SAFs) and Single Member Approved Deposit Funds (SMADFs), that have total assets equal to or greater than $50m at the end of the entity’s last year of income but are not within the largest 200 entities in the industry by total asset size. Accordingly trustees of these entities will be required to only complete version A of this form.
Trustees of those superannuation entities, excluding Small APRA Funds (SAFs) and Single Member Approved Deposit Funds (SMADFs), that have total assets of at least $50m and are within the largest 200 entities in the industry in terms of total assets, are not required to complete Version A of this form and are required to only complete Version B of this form. APRA will advise those entities that are within this grouping and customise the reporting package in D2A so that the correct version is applied to them.
Superannuation entities that are required to complete SRF 110.1 Selected Disclosure of Investments Version A or B on a quarterly basis must also complete SRF 210.1 Selected Disclosure of Investments on an annual basis.
Note: All forms included in the SRF 100 series should be submitted together as a quarterly return, not individually as separate forms.
Purpose
This instruction guide is designed to assist in the completion of the SRF 110.1 A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A). The information requested in this form is required by APRA.
Lodgement and validation of SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments
Lodgement and authentication codes
This form must be completed and lodged to APRA by a corporate or natural ‘person’ (trustee director or administrator), and not by the superannuation entity as the entity is not a ‘person’.
Once SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A) has been completed and submitted to APRA, an authentication code is generated in D2A from information entered into the form. The authentication code and date submitted appear in the footer of each page of the form. Any change of information entered or resubmission of the form will result in a change to the authentication code.
A receipt indicating successful lodgement of the form will be provided via email. There may be a slight delay in a receipt being provided if the submission is made in the last week of October. Do not resubmit your form however, as the receipt will be generated.
Validation and calculation of totals
When data is entered into the form, the total balances (in the greyed out cells) will not be calculated automatically. The total items will only calculate when the form is validated. Clicking on the word 'validate' in the top left hand corner of the screen and selecting ‘OK’ will result in the total items being calculated and the validation rules appearing for review.
Section (3) Business - Financial Sector (Collection of Data) determination No. 48 of 2005 - (3) Business | Zoe
There are three types of validation rules as follows:
Warnings: Confirmation rules – this rule requires the user to provide confirmation that the data entered into an item is correct, for example that a negative number is correct and should not be positive. To provide confirmation the user should click the confirm box and provide a brief description in support of the item.
Note: Descriptions entered for warnings may not always appear if the return is validated more than once. There is no need to re-enter the description as D2A has saved this description and the comments will be lodged with the return.
Error: Mandatory rules – this indicates an error in an item, for example a description and a value must be included in a table. These errors must be corrected before the return can be lodged.
Cross form validations – this also indicates an error and must be corrected before the return can be lodged, for example Totals disclosed in SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position item 12 ‘Net assets available to pay benefits’ must agree with the net assets reported in item 23 ‘Net assets available to pay benefits at the end of the reporting period disclosed on SRF 100.0 Statement of Financial Performance for each quarter.
General guidance for completion of SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A)
This form requests information to be disclosed in the following parts:
Part A: Deposits, placements, loans and debt securities
Part B: Investments in equity securities of unlisted corporations and units in unlisted private trusts
Part C: Interest in unlisted retail/public offer trusts
Part D: Interest in ventures
SRF 110.1 Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A) is an annexure providing further detail on the composition of the aggregated net market value reported for certain investment items in SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position. In particular the following must agree:
Total ‘Net Market Value’ column of SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A), PART A, item 3 should agree with the ‘Total Net Market Value’ column reported in SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position item 3.1. ‘Deposits, placements, loans and debt securities’.
The sum of the total of SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A), PART B, column 6 PLUS SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A), PART D, column 5
should agree with
‘Total Net Market Value’ column reported in SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position for item 3.3 ‘Direct holdings of equity securities of unlisted corporations, units in unlisted private trusts and interests in ventures’.
Total of SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A), PART C, item 5 ‘Total’, column ‘Net market value at the end of the reporting period‘ should agree with ‘Total Net Market Value’ column reported in SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position for item 3.7.5 ‘Unlisted retail/public offer unit trusts’.
Important!
Not all investments, as disclosed on SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position item 3, are required to be reported on SRF 110.1A Selected Disclosure of Investments (Version A). However, in accordance with the above requirements, the net market value of investments reported in PARTs A to D of SRF 110.1A should agree to the relevant items in SRF 110.0 Statement of Financial Position.
Important!
Zeros are not required where there is no dollar value for an item. If there is no balance for an item, leave it blank. The form can be left blank as D2A recognises blanks as zeros.
Important!
Report all disclosures rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. Do not use decimal numbers i.e. when dividing the value to obtain a rounded balance to the nearest thousand dollars, ensure that the figure is whole.
Important!
If an investment balance has moved significantly since the previous quarterly return, the Trustee may be requested to explain or verify this movement to APRA.
Classification of Rating Grade of Counterparty
The counterparty grades set out in the table below are to be used in classifying the rating grades for the purposes of PART A and PART C of this form. This table discloses the corresponding counterparty ratings of a number of rating agencies and the general classification APRA will apply to these ratings. The superannuation entity should request these rating grades directly from the counterparty (i.e. the other party with whom the transaction is being made) or investment manager, and should not rely on consumer rating agencies which rate collective investments.
Where the superannuation entity has investments with multiple ratings from two or more of the rating agencies in the table above, its trustee should consistently apply the rating of a single agency wherever possible. For example, a superannuation entity may have a number of counterparties that are rated by S&P and Fitch. In this case the superannuation entity should select a single rating agency that will be consistently applied whenever the individual ratings conflict.
The ratings in the above table from the respective rating agencies are generally consistent with long term rating/debt securities. Where the superannuation entity invests in counterparties/securities that have only been issued with a short term counterparty rating, the closest match from the above table should be used to classify the investments into the appropriate APRA grades.
Unknown rating grade
If a rating grade is unknown or not available use rating grade 6. Where investment managers cannot confirm their ratings a rating grade 6 should also be used.
