What’s an Operational Risk Financial Requirement (ORFR)?

As Trustee, Macquarie Investment Management Limited (MIML) has regulatory obligations to maintain adequate financial resources to address losses arising from operational risks that may affect the Macquarie Superannuation Plan (the Fund). This requirement is known as the Operational Risk Financial Requirement (ORFR).  

The cost associated with the ORFR is passed onto the Fund as an ORFR fee. 

For further information on reserves, see Understanding the superannuation fund reserve.

 

How does the ORFR fee impact my clients?

The ORFR fee is 0.03% p.a. of each client’s super and pension account balance and is paid directly from their account on a monthly basis. The amount they pay each month depends on their account balance, but is always subject to a maximum fee of $300 p.a. (maximum of $25 per month) per account. 

This amount is deducted from accounts during our normal fee processing, generally in the first week of the month after the fees accrue, or upon closure of an account.

What products does the ORFR fee apply to?

The ORFR fee is applicable for all super and pension products in the Fund. These are:

  • Macquarie Super and Pension Consolidator II
  • Macquarie Super and Pension Manager II
  • Macquarie Super and Pension (Macquarie Vision)
  • Macquarie Super and Pension Consolidator 
  • Macquarie Super and Pension Manager (including Term Allocated Pension Manager) 
  • Macquarie Super Accumulator
  • Premium Portfolio Service Super and Pension Account.
