Скачать или смотреть Super Funds Face Soaring CSLR Levies: What It Means for Members and Trustees

When the financial system fails, someone pays—but are super funds picking up the tab for misconduct elsewhere?

The Super Members Council has sounded the alarm about escalating costs from the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort (CSLR), which are increasingly being shifted onto everyday super members, especially those on low and middle incomes.

The CSLR levy for FY27 is predicted to hit a staggering $107 million—over five times the previous cap—even before the latest managed investment scheme collapses.

For super funds, this isn’t just another line item. When governance risk spikes and your fund is forced to shoulder disproportionate levies, member interests and your fiduciary duty could be at risk.

Do you know how exposed your fund is to system-wide compensation mechanisms? How transparent are you with your members and trustees about these risks?

It’s not just about investment returns anymore. System costs, fairness, and risk management are front and center.

The bottom line: CSLR appears to be a mess, and super funds may be on the hook for much more than they bargained for.

Now’s the time to examine your communication strategies and question how your fund is preparing for these shifting risks.

Don’t wait for surprises—make sure your trustees and members understand the stakes when the system fails.
