INTRODUCTION

4

Whilst this pack is heavily focussed on the significant compliance requirements introduced by the Budget announcements, Management has not lost sight that a commercially viable best in class product will be required to succeed in the post budget/royal commission/productivity commission world.

The current roadmap captures the findings of the most recent triennial design review, which confirmed that our product is generally market competitive across key aspects. In saying that, the insurance and broader superannuation environment will undergo significant change over the coming years. This will create opportunity to consider what could (or should) be different about our offering at a time when we are establishing our stand-a-lone wealth business.

PURPOSE

5

This purpose of this pack is to provide the NULIS Nominees (Australia) Limited Insurance Committee with the following:

• Section 1: A summary of how the Federal Budget 2018 reforms align with the Trustee’s existing insurance in super roadmap and how they will impact on delivery timeframes;

• Section 2: An overview of the project framework and prioritisation process that will be applied to deliver the overall insurance in super program of work, inclusive of the Federal Budget reforms.

• Section 3: A progress update on potential solutions to address the high rate of MKBS/PS declined TPD claims, for those members assessed on the basis of the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) definition; and

• Section 4: Check in with the committee to seek clarification on key issues requiring Trustee input and endorsement of proposed direction.

BACKGROUND

6

• There is a significant program of compliance, product design, process uplift and enablement work to be completed in the insurance in super space over the next few years.

• The scope of this work covers the Trustee’s agreed priorities and product enhancements, the requirements of the Code and recent Federal Budget reforms.

• In addition to this large volume of change, the out workings of the Productivity Commission review and the Royal commission add uncertainty to the environment which are likely to mean this work will continually evolve.

• The work is expected to occur over a period of several years, noting that other significant business activities including Platform Migration (Superb > Compass) and separation of the Wealth / NAB Group businesses will be occurring in parallel.

• Management is working to establish a revised insurance in super roadmap or ‘transition plan’, that will articulate how, when and in what order the above work will be completed, taking into account the members needs, the need to remain compliant, as well as alignment with agreed Trustee initiatives and the broader Wealth priorities as they impact the members and the business.

• The budget requirements make 1 July 2019 the key date not only for meeting compliance requirements but also in terms of product strategy decisions.

• Work then logically can be broken into: • Completion of the Code transition plan by 31 December 2018. • Work required to be completed by 30 June 2019 for budget compliance and that can

be included in the MKBS/PS re-rate. • Work that will follow post 1 July 20-19 to complete delivery of the Code and other

product roadmap requirements.

The budget and code changes are transformational to the way insurance will be offered through super.

• Around 40% of our membership (or around 250k members) are expected to be impacted.

• The ‘opt in’ model changes the way ‘default’ insurance has been provided to members through their super.

• Funds and insurers need to ‘re-set’ and work through these changes.

• The changes to insurance combined with the productivity commission’s proposed changes to super more generally will continue to push the industry towards lower cost and simplification.

• Member engagement will be key.

• Appendix 2 provides further detail of the insurance changes and impacts on our members.

TRUSTEE ROADMAP Impact of Federal Budget 2018 reforms

11

• We expect the proposed reforms to largely be passed as legislation.

• This will make 1 July 2019 the key date not only for meeting compliance requirements but also in terms of product strategy decisions.

• Non critical items will need to be deferred.

• MLCL have indicated they would be prepared to push out the timing of the 31 December 2018 re-rate for MKBS/PS and PPP standard rates to 30 June 2019.

• This is good for members as the budget impacts are likely to lead to premium increases.

• As a result the key decision becomes what can reasonably be included in the 30 June 2019

re-rate (along with ensuring we meet the compliance obligations required by 30 June 2019).

• The following slides provide further commentary for each of the initiatives and proposed timing.

SECTION 2 - DELIVERY APPROACH

DELIVERY Project framework

16

• Given the scale of insurance in super work to be completed over the next few years, Management has established a team to define scope, prioritise the work and develop an overall transition plan with the focus on the work to be completed prior to 1 July 2019.

• The planning team of ~9 FTE is comprised of resources and subject matter experts from Product Insurance, a Program Director, Business Analysts, Solution Architecture and the Regulatory Portfolio Office.

• In developing the draft transition plan, this team has undertaken an approach to bring together the various aspects of the Insurance Voluntary Code, Federal Budget, Product Roadmap and simplification (migration) to identify dependencies and delivery synergies.

• Based on the proposed priorities, the next step to evolve the transition plan will be to further decompose the prioritised scope and breakdown down the work into more manageable groups that can deliver business value and gain deeper stakeholder feedback from the following key groups: Operations, Technology, Customer Experience, Retail Super and Legal.

• Management has been building persistent delivery teams with domain expertise in key areas such as data, process change and product change. It is expected that as the transition plan work is further understood and broken down, when ready the work will be fed into these teams based on priority. It is intended to also leverage the experienced resource base that has been working on Tailored Insurance with mobilisation ramping up in early FY19.

NAB.005.913.0056

Page 17: NULIS INSURANCE COMMITTEE WORKSHOP

DELIVERY Project framework

17

A key aspect of executing the transition plan will be to build in assurance activities during the lifecycle. It is anticipated that the transition plan will require: • Assurance to provide confidence that areas where management believes we are already compliant can

be evidenced • Assurance during delivery to provide confidence that compliance dates will be met • Involvement of MA Compliance to support obligation traceability to process and controls, along with

identifying and implementing any necessary uplifts • Other aspects that may require independent assurance

Member experience Management is reviewing the structure and resourcing of how our communications to members are prepared. The communications strategy will ensure that members are provided with consistent information that adds value to decisions, takes into account broader MLC Super Fund member communications and experience, uses language aligned with the Code requirements and provides appropriate support through these changes. Please also refer to appendix 5 regarding our member experience principles. Insurers MLC Limited has been proactive in addressing the requirements of the Code, supporting Management with analysis and ensuring that various pricing reviews or other product changes are appropriate in the context of the Budget reforms. Product Insurance will continue to lead the interactions with MLC Limited and other insurers, ensuring that the insurance in super program has the appropriate insights and technical detail to support decisions.

NAB.005.913.0057

Page 18: NULIS INSURANCE COMMITTEE WORKSHOP

DELIVERY Prioritisation

18

To ensure this combined program of Trustee, Budget and Code work is appropriately prioritised, Management has established the following criteria:

Through a series of initial workshops with the Product Insurance, Business Delivery and Regulatory Change teams, the above criteria have been applied to each Budget reform, Code obligation and Trustee initiative to provide an initial view of how this work should be prioritised.

A more detailed breakdown of the proposed streams of work, sequencing and initiatives to be delivered in the 12 months to 30 June 2019 is included as Appendix 3.

We must be / remain compliant

We will adhere to Trustee endorsed priorities and initiatives

We will provide a positive customer experience for Insurance in Super members (retain customers / NPS) and we must do that in the context of the members overall experience with MLC Super

We will simplify and automate the Insurance in Super environment (reduce cost to income / support Superb to Compass simplification)

We will grow maintain a commercially viable product (new customers / NFF)

SECTION 3 - UPDATE ON TPD/ADL

Date 12 July 2018

Page 21: NULIS INSURANCE COMMITTEE WORKSHOP

21

MKBS/PS TPD/ADL

Management has been working with MLCL to deliver a potential solution to quickly address the key issue of TPD decline claim rates in MKBS/PS. In the background, we know that the productivity commission has raised the idea of standardised TPD definitions and it is difficult to say with any certainty exactly where the overall industry landscape will settle. As a result the proposed approach below may be an interim step. Nonetheless, it goes a long way towards addressing Trustee concerns relating to use of the ADL definition for casuals, special risk and unemployed members. Importantly, as we have worked closely with MLCL, this approach has the advantages of: • Being achievable to be able to be implemented as part of the 30 June 2019 re-rate;

and • Having minimal premium impact on the majority of the membership (noting that this

assumes many of the casuals will no longer be provided cover).

Heron have recently provided an assessment of TPD definitions used in the market. We will work through this in detail and consider in our more formal response to the Trustee. Some key points Heron raised include: • TPD definitions generally are complex (often including 4-5 components); • ADL definitions are still prevalent in the market but have become less restrictive; • Lower levels of cover are common for casuals.

NAB.005.913.0061

Page 22: NULIS INSURANCE COMMITTEE WORKSHOP

MKBS/PS TPO/ AOL - Proposedappro~

The key elements of the proposed approach are as follows: • All casual and special risk members assessed on ETER

• Only those unemployed not to be assessed on ETER-they would use a home duties definition

• Reduced sum insured for new casual members (although option for existing members to retain sum insured); and

• Minimal, if any, pricing impacts for other members in the fund • This is key to maintain product competitiveness.

tommercial aspects of insurance in super If we are to implement in next 12 months it would make sense to be aligned with MK BS/PS and PPP re-rates in mid 2019. Management seek Trustee's preferred timing to introduce the updated approach to commerciality ·n suoer oarticularlv in context of external environment focus on fees. Management seeks Trustee endorsement of the items proposed to be included in the 30 June 2019 re-rate and those that are proposed to be pushed out to a later date. In particular, the following items should be prioritised after 1July2019:

- The Budget reforms only partially address the original Trustee initiative to reduce death cover at younger ages, which was focused on members up to age 35. Management recommends reviewing the LifeStages scale to determine whether a lower level of cover should apply that gradually increases from age 25 - 35 but at a later time post 1July2019.

Prioritisation of roadmap initiatives - The introduction of lifestages to MKPS should coincide with the MLC Super Fund program personal plan broader strategy and should occur after 1 July 2019.

- The initiative to cease IP cover after a period of inactivity will be met as a result of the budget changes.

Management also recognises that there will be opportunity to refine our insurance product strategy, particularly as the impacts of the Budget changes become better understood. As the analysis and implementation of the Budget changes progress, Management will revert to the Trustee with any proposed-i changes to strategy or product design, to ensure the product remains well positioned and competitive in ~uture.

Management vf ew I questfons

Rather t han a specific delivery date to complete a review of a ll disclosure, Management recommends applying key Code principles to all insurance communications issued or reviewed over t he next 2-3 years {Code compliance no later than Ju ne 2021).

This is a significant piece of work and Management propose to move this out beyond 1July2019. The key issue of declined claim volumes (for Special Risk members) will be largely solved via AOL definition change and via ongoing uplifts t o disclosure. Given volume of work to be completed in next 12 months, a broader review of pricing st ructure I collar ratings is not achievable.

Due to the significance of the budget changes (that were introduced after the Code requirements ), most industry participants propose to issue a 'high level' implementation plan by 31 December 2018 which may be updated/revised over time as industry developments settle. This approach is consistent with guidance from ind ustry associations and worki ng groups. Management seeks Trustee endorsement for t he Code implementation plan t o be high level.

Management is a lso assessing how t he Code requirements in respect of Automatic Insurance Members (Al M) will apply to t he Trustee' s products. The following groups will be excluded from t he specific AIM requirements (although t his does not mean certain 'global' processes or business rules described in t he Code, eg. cancellation of cover, wou ld not apply where it makes sense to do so):

• Members with an underwritten retaiVindividual insurance policy

• Members where employer pays or subsidises insurance premiums

• Defined Benefi t members

• lnsurance/riskonlv members

APPENDICES

Page 27: NULIS INSURANCE COMMITTEE WORKSHOP

APPENDIX 1 INSURANCE GOVERNANCE POLICY – GUIDING PRINCIPLES

27

The aim of the Trustee is to provide a wide variety of insurance cover and choice across the products in the RSEs which have insurance as a product feature, by allowing flexibility for Members to select cover to meet their underlying needs. The Trustee provides flexibility in product design, recognising the diverse nature of its RSEs’ membership. In formulating its insurance offering to Members the Trustee adopts the following principles: • To provide flexible, sustainable insurance cover to a wide range of Members • To provide access to help, guidance and advice for all Members to consider their insurance needs and make their own choices • To provide reasonable equity between Members by matching insurance costs to risks in a practical manner • To exercise, in relation to all matters affecting the RSEs, the same degree of care, skill and diligence as an ordinary prudent

person would exercise • To limit automatic insurance cover (or certain types of cover) for Members in riskier occupations when cover cannot be provided

at a reasonable cost • To have sound working relationships with all Insurers engaged (or being considered for engagement) for the provision of

insurance to Members, ensuring that the Insurer selection and review processes operate in Members’ best interests • To generally only use one Insurer per employer plan • To deal with all Member insurance claims:

o Respectfully and empathetically; o Efficiently and promptly with clear communications; and o By pursuing, to the fullest extent, all claims that the Trustee considers both reasonable and which have reasonable prospect of

success. • To consider key risks associated with acquiring insurance on behalf of Members and formulate strategies for managing and

monitoring these risks • To comply with the requirements of SPS250 and all applicable legislation, in particular Section 52(7) of the SIS Act.

The Federal Government’s Protecting Your Super package, announced in the 2018/19 Budget, seeks to implement a number of amendments to superannuation relating to erosion of benefits and insurance in super. In particular, the Treasury Laws Amendment (Protecting Superannuation) Bill 2018 aims to make amendments to the superannuation environment which in part, stipulates that Trustees must offer or maintain insurance for its members holding choice or MySuper product only if the member has directed (via opt in) the Trustee in relation to: • a new account held by a member who is under the age of 25; • an account that has a balance of less than $6,000; or • an account that has been inactive for 13 months or more. The Trustee must notify affected members on or before 1 May 2019 of the changes as to give these members an opportunity to elect to continue to have insurance coverage beyond 1 July 2019. From this date the Trustee will also need to notify members that have been inactive for six or nine months on the basis that should the account be inactive for a total of 13 consecutive months, the insurance will be offered on an opt in basis. Alignment with Code The majority of the 179 Code obligations remain relevant and in scope for the Code Transition Plan, however several Budget items overlap or supersede the Code. Whilst the Code required Trustees to turn off cover for inactive accounts below $6,000, the Budget further stipulates opt in provisions for under 25 year old members, low balance accounts and inactive accounts (of any dollar value). Furthermore, the Budget goes beyond the Code in that inactive account (>13 months) balances of less than $6,000 will be transferred to the ATO.

APPENDIX 2 - FEDERAL BUDGET 2018 Premium impacts and implications

29

Premiums • As a result of cancelling insurance cover, we are expecting an immediate reduction (ie. inactive and low

balance members) of around 40% of group insurance PIF (~$150m) at 1 July 2019. • The relative premium reduction will grow over time as younger members are not automatically opted in to

default insurance. • Existing premiums are likely to increase initially to account for this material shift and it will take a number of

years for the ongoing premium impacts to settle. • Significantly larger than expected under the Code, as this only included members with inactive accounts AND

had a low balance, whereas the budget test is an OR test (ie. any of < 25, low balance, inactive). Insurance coverage • Approximately 250k members (or around 42%) with group insurance will immediately have cover turned off

at 1 July 2019. Our analysis shows that a significant proportion of claims paid in 2017 were to members with balances of less than $6k. These claims were spread across death and TPD members with material average claims sizes:

o 26% of MKBS/PS claims (average $143k) o 10% of Plum/PPP claims (average $185k)

• Based on current legislation members won't receive cover until they also reach a $6k account balance;

therefore in practice cover won't start immediately at age 25. As members move from the opt-in arrangement to opt out after age 25, this will introduce a selection impact and is likely to require some form of underwriting (or at least require members to satisfy adjusted at work requirements).

• At this stage we expect there to be a carve out for insurance only members and members whose premiums are paid by employers.

APPENDIX 3 - PRIORTISATION Streams of work

32

The prioritisation process has assisted with identifying the common features across the various reforms, obligations and product initiatives, allowing these to be segmented into logical streams of work. The intent is that as each particular stream is delivered it will provide value to the business, rather than simply delivering a range of unrelated items in order to meet compliance requirements. The initial work streams are classified as follows:

Initial priority

NAB.005.913.0072

Page 33: NULIS INSURANCE COMMITTEE WORKSHOP

APPENDIX 3 - PRIORITISATION Sequencing

33

The program of work will most likely be delivered in four main stages:

• Any Product Initiatives or Code obligations to be independently delivered ahead of Budget changes. These must be of sufficiently high priority or have minimal dependency on the Budget changes from a product design, efficiency or member experience perspective;

• Delivery of the Code Transition Plan for approval by the Trustee, and publication by 31 December 2018. Expect that Trustee approval of the Plan will be sought at the October Insurance Committee meeting;

• Product Initiatives or Code obligations to be delivered in alignment with the Budget changes, effective on 1 July 2019 (noting communications to be issued earlier in 2019); and

• Items that can be deferred until after the Budget changes, including obligations required under the Code that can be completed between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2021.

APPENDIX 4 - MKBS/PS ADL DECLINED CLAIMS

35

Preferred Insurer analysis Management has been working with MLCL to deliver a potential solution to the key issue of TPD decline claim rates in MKBS/PS as a result of casuals, special risk and unemployed members only being eligible for assessment against the Activities of Daily Living definition. The solution is intended to reduce as far as possible the number of members assessed against the ADL definition while minimising pricing impacts to the broader membership. A high level overview of the potential solution is provided below. Heron Report Heron has also been engaged to complete a market review of how other funds manage insurance for casuals and similar cohorts. Management will review the report once received, consider what other options are available and how MLCL’s potential solution compares to market. Next Steps Management will revert to the Trustee with a formal proposal (likely October Insurance Committee meeting), including change requirements (eg. technology build, disclosure, etc) and implementation timeframes.

APPENDIX 4 -MKBS/PS AOL DECLINED CLAIMS

Current TPD definition - ETER, ADL, Home Duties

The current Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 definition of Permanent Incapacity references a member's ability to be in gainful employment whereas the TPD definition includes sub-definitions, such as Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Home Duties, that do not. The current MKBS TPD definition is composed of the following sub-de fi ni ti on s:

Perm. full time

ETER

Perm. Part Time for at

APPENDIX 4 -MKBS/PS AOL DECLINED CLAIMS

37

Proposed new TPD definition - ETER, Home Duties

Assessing a claimant's ability to perform AOL rather than occupational duties when they were working in some capacity at the time of disablement ignores the context of the disablement, which is the basis of the assessment of the persistence of the disability in the future. Therefore, if a claimant is working in any capacity, it is reasonable to base the assessment of the totality and permanence of their disability on ETER criteria even if the claimants are casually, seasonally or permanently employed for less than 15 hours per week when they became disabled.

As such it is proposed that casually, seasonally or permanently employed for less than 15 hours per week members as at the date of disablement be assessed against the ETER TPD definition and no longer against the ADL TPD definition. Further, claimants that are defined as unemployed (unemployed for a continuous period of three months or more prior to the date of disablement) as at the date of disablement, will be assessed against the Home Duties TPD definition.

APPENDIX 4 -MKBS/PS AOL DECLINED CLAIMS

Levels of cover Currently all members receive cover based on a plan's default insurance design, typically the LifeStages scale. For casual employees this may be higher cover than required or result in erosion of account balance. Therefore we are proposing that at time of joining the fund, eligible casual workers receive a lower level of default death and TPD cover that steps down as the member ages. This cover would be significantly lower than that of other members of the fund and will cost a flat unit rate of $X or according to an aged-based scale (TBC).

A member will be classified as a casual worker as per the advice of their employer at the commencement of their employment.

39

The benefits of the proposed TPD product changes

The proposed changes simplify the TPD definition by reducing the number of sub­definitions. Members are more likely to understand the TPD product

No pricing impact on the wider membership

Lower levels of default death and TPD cover for casual worker members giving their retirement balances a chance to grow

NAB.005.913.0079

Opening up the ETER TPD definition to casual members is in line with the market while removing the AOL definition altogether aligns with the Productivity Commission's recommendations to increase the value that consumers assign to group insurance cover

The changes are simple and intuitive which means that disclosures will also be simple and comprehensible to members

Relatively inexpensive given the shrinkage of the casual worker pool as a result of the 2018 Budget measures
