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.
