In a statement, legalsuper said it had “extended its partnership” with the administrator and would roll out Link’s new digital advice service Super Blueprint to its members.
“Developed in response to a rise in members seeking advice online, Link Group’s Super Blueprint condenses complex financial concepts into comprehensible and accessible advice for fund members,” the group said.
“Integrating into Link Group’s registry system, Super Blueprint pre-populates the member’s information, making it easier for them to generate their own advice.”
The service was able to deliver advice to members on topics including investment choice, insurance, projected retirement needs and contributions.
“legalsuper continues to focus on providing members with access to information and advice to help them make the most out of their super and retirement,” legalsuper chief executive Andrew Proebstl said.
“Extending our partnership with Link Group into digital advice is an exciting step for the fund. Through the use of APIs from Link Group’s market leading technology, we believe Super Blueprint will provide our members with even more benefits.”
Link Advice CEO Duncan McPherson added that the advice provided through Super Blueprint would provide fund members with “a clear balance and benchmark for how their super is performing”.
“Uncertain market conditions have people taking a closer look at their nest eggs, and choosing funds that can provide easily accessible advice on the accumulation and protection of superannuation amounts,” Mr McPherson said.
“Super Blueprint allows members to understand more about how to get the most of their super and to ensure they take the necessary steps to achieve their goals in retirement.”
Such BS. It needs to be a level playing field. ROA’s should not be required for intra-fund advice !
Nice try but advice is bit more than pushing buttons and exactly how does this stack up with those stanards again…or let me guess, there is special dispensation for the industry funds and banks to roll out garbage at the investors expense and all while throing advisers under the bus. Soon it will be doctors and lawyers …who needs a human to interact with a human….dah!!!!
