Reporting Form SRF 702.0
Investment Performance
Instructions
These instructions assist completion of Reporting Form SRF 702.0 Investment Performance (SRF 702.0). SRF 702.0 collects information related to investment performance. Information reported in SRF 702.0 is required primarily for prudential and publication purposes and for the purposes of section 348A of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993. Information reported in SRF 702.0 is also required for the purposes of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
Reporting level
SRF 702.0 must be completed for each MySuper investment option.
Reporting basis and unit of measurement
Report all items on SRF 702.0 in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards unless otherwise specified.
Where an RSE licensee is reporting an accrued amount, valuation of the accrual must be in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards. APRA requires that an RSE licensee report items based on ‘hard close’ valuations, not ‘soft close’ valuations.
Items on SRF 702.0 must be reported as at the end of the reporting period or with respect to transactions that occurred during the reporting period. Report information with respect to transactions that occurred during the reporting period on a year to date basis, rather than for the individual quarter alone, except where otherwise specified.
Items on SRF 702.0 are to be reported as dollars and cents on a per member basis or percentages. Report percentages as whole numbers to two decimal places. For example, 10 per cent is to be reported as 10.00.
Report percentage net investment returns as percentages of the assets adjusted for cash flows as they occur (i.e. time-weighted), unless otherwise specified. Cash flows include, but are not limited to, contributions, switches, transfers, rollovers or benefit payments.
Items on SRF 702.0 are to be reported on a non-look-through basis or a look-through basis. ‘Look-through basis’ refers to fees and costs being reported that relate to service providers that are not directly engaged by the RSE licensee, but are engaged by other service providers.
These instructions specify the reporting basis, unit of measurement and look-through basis that applies to each item.
Specific instructions
Terms highlighted in bold italics indicate that the definition is provided in these instructions.
For the purposes of these instructions, a ‘fee’ is an amount directly charged to members (regardless of who pays the fee) and a ‘cost’ is an amount incurred by the RSE licensee. The definitions of ‘fee’ and ‘cost’ are mutually exclusive.
Comparison to Product Disclosure Statement requirements
Schedule 10 of the Corporations Regulations provides the requirements for disclosing fees and costs on a Product Disclosure Statement.
SRF 702.0 collects information about the actual experience of the RSE with respect to those fees and costs that were disclosed in a Product Disclosure statement and reported on SRF 703.0 Fees Disclosed.
For the purposes of these instructions, fees and costs must be reported ‘gross of tax obligations’. This means the fees and costs must be reported prior to taking into account any benefit of a tax deduction relating to a fee that is passed on to a member either as a reduction in tax on contributions or through the deduction of a fee that is lower than what is reported to take account of the tax deduction.
APRA requires an RSE licensee to split the indirect cost ratio (ICR) reported on the Product Disclosure Statement into three sub-categories: indirect cost ratio investment costs reported in item 1.2, indirect cost ratio administration costs reported in item 2.2 and indirect cost ratio advice costs reported in item 3.2. The sum of these three sub-categories may not equal to the value of the indirect cost ratio but must be less than or equal to the value of the indirect cost ratio. Example: the ICR reported on the PDS is 2.00 per cent. Of this 2.00 per cent, 1.5 per cent relates to investment costs, 0.3 relates to administration costs and 0.1 relates to advice costs. Note that 1.5 + 0.3 + 0.1 = 1.9 is less than the value of the ICR, indicating that costs other than these three sub-categories are included in the ICR.

MySuper investment option means[7]:
(a) for a non-lifecycle MySuper product – the investment option underlying the investment strategy for that product; and
(b) for a lifecycle MySuper product – the investment option underlying each lifecycle stage of that product;
- MySuper product has the meaning given in section 10(1) of the SIS Act;

[1] For the purposes of this Reporting Standard, an ‘RSE licensee’s business operations’ includes all activities as an RSE licensee (including the activities of each RSE of which it is the licensee), and all other activities of the RSE licensee to the extent that they are relevant to, or may impact on, its activities as an RSE licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the RSE licensee has more than one MySuper investment option within its business operations, the RSE licensee must separately provide the information required by the form for each MySuper investment option within its business operations. Note that for the purposes of the allocation of reporting forms via the ‘Direct to APRA’ application the requirement to provide information for a MySuper product or a lifecycle stage is referred to as an obligation to provide information about each ‘MySuper investment option’.
[2] For the avoidance of doubt, if the due date for a particular reporting period falls on a day other than a usual business day, an RSE licensee is nonetheless required to submit the information required no later than the due date.
