The Act is designed to have a single disclosure regime applying to all industries offering financial products or services. This can either relate to a simple savings product, a more complex superannuation product or a managed investment scheme.

Full details of a particular product must now be clearly disclosed so that current and prospective members can make informed decisions on investment matters.
