Integra Super welcomes family membersFamily fee discounting

From 1 July, family members of new and existing Integra employer-sponsored members will be able to join Integra Super and share in potential fee discounts of up to 40% p.a.

A family member will link to the employer plan for the purpose of calculating and gaining access to the plan’s Administration Fee rebate. The larger the total plan balance, the higher the fee rebate for all.

Family member insurance access and easy contribution methods

Another incentive for family members to join Integra Super will include having access to the many features and benefits it offers, including access to Death and TPD insurance and the flexibility to make, along with any employer, contributions to their account quickly and easily through either BPAY or Direct Credit.

We’re enhancing pricingReduction in Administration Fees

On 1 July we are reducing the first tier Administration Fee which applies to first $250,000 of FUM in all plans - by 0.10% to 1.10% p.a. (after tax).

A change in Investment Management Fees (IMFs) is also occurring

On 1 July there will be no change to the IMFs for OptiMix, our Manage the Managers investment funds or externally managed investment funds offered within Integra Super. However, there will be an increase of 0.10% p.a. (after tax) to the IMF of Integra Super ING investment funds.

Despite the changes to ING investment funds they remain extremely competitive, and many members invested in these funds will experience NO change in their total fee (where the increase in IMF is offset by the first tier Administration Fee reduction we’ve mentioned above).

For those members in OptiMix or externally managed investment funds, the net effect of the first tier Administration Fee reduction will be a discount in their total fee. This means this benefit will also apply to all members invested in the Trustee’s default, OptiMix Balanced.

We’re also making pricing more flexible – for youIntroduction of a Member Negotiated Transfer Fee

To assist you in growing your funds under advice quickly and easily by encouraging your clients to consolidate their super or deposit any lump sums into their Integra Super account, we are introducing the ability for you to negotiate directly with a member their individual member transfer fee. This fee can now be negotiated between you and a member up to 1%.

Existing Fee arrangements will not change and the Plan negotiated fee currently applicable will be the default fee charged to members.

We’ve made protecting members and their loved ones even easier Improved Tailored Death Only, Death and Total and Permanent Disablement (TPD) and Group Salary Continuance (GSC) rates

Integra Super’s current tailored rates for Death and TPD insurance are reducing by 5% across the board. Significant reductions will also be made to all GSC premiums, with particular gains for white collar workers! The new occupational GSC cover ratings are listed in the table below.

*Please note that the White Collar 2 GSC cover ratings will now be quoted in Integra Super publications.

Want to see the GSC savings in action?Meet Louise, a 37 year old university qualified accountant, who is currently earning a salary of $7,000 a month. Louise’s employer has an Integra Super plan that has been established with a 75% salary benefit percentage and a 30 day waiting period. The effect of the new GSC rates on Louise’s premium has been to reduce it to $347.28 p.a., that’s a 15% saving!

A change to help you Boost

your FUM!

Improved AALs

We have re-designed some of Integra Super’s member threshold categories for Tailored Death and TPD Cover, as well as GSC, and have been able to pass on larger levels of automatic cover in many of these categories.

Increases in AALs can be seen in the table below in bold. Please note that existing business will not be affected by these changes.

Fast-track short form underwriting – less questions for more cover!

Integra Super members are now fewer questions away from having up to $350,000 Death or TPD cover! That’s right, our new fast-track Short Form Personal Health Statement will mean less questions to answer, and will be twice as quick to complete than our current Short Form Statement, AND will mean members can obtain more cover than ever before - $100,000 more!

Previously, members may have had to complete a Full Personal Health Statement to even be eligible for $350,000 worth of cover –this meant even more questions as well as time.

Other insurance enhancements effective 1 July:

n We’re extending the Terminal illness benefit payment criteria from six to twelve months; and

n We’re extending Accident Cover from Death Only to Death and TPD insurance.

We’re making it even easier for new plans to meet their Choice of Fund (COF) obligationsIntroduction of an insurance default - one unit of Standard Death Only cover for all new plans

To assist your employer clients in meeting their ongoing COF obligations Integra Super will be providing one unit of Standard Death Only cover as the default insurance benefit to all eligible members of plans commencing after 1 July 2006. Of course, employers can select more comprehensive insurance for their employees and can opt-out of the one unit of cover provision upon joining Integra Super if they wish.

We’ve widened the investment menu – again!

Integra Super will become one of the few employer super offerings to provide a geared ‘best of breed’ multi-manager fund to members, when it launches the NEW OptiMix Geared Australian Shares fund on 20 July.

The OptiMix Geared Australian Shares fund provides members with:

> the benefits of gearing, including the potential to magnify returns, without the downside of having to take out a separate margin loan or risk a margin call

> lower interest rates compared to those available to individual investors

> the peace of mind that comes from knowing professionals are managing gearing levels for you

> access to the proven OptiMix Manage the Managers process that now has $7 billion in FUM within their investment options and a track record of solid long term returns.

The addition of the new

investment fund, will

take the total number of

funds offered through the

Integra Super menu to

53

We’ve made improvements to our electronic payment options for members and employers The introduction of BPAY and Direct Credit have made contributing to Integra Super accounts easier than ever before. You and your clients can use the new electronic payment methods whenever you choose, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

While many of your Integra Super members have received notification of their unique reference number and Biller Code, this information will also be included in their upcoming 2006 Annual Statement. In addition, all new members of Integra Super are receiving this information in their Welcome Kit. All unique reference numbers and Biller Codes can also be requested over the phone by a member at any time, by calling 133 665.

Our new plan installation, transition management and ongoing service just keeps getting betterOur comprehensive and dedicated transition management service continues to ensure smooth, effective and seamless transitions to Integra Super - for all plans.

We’re making state-of-the art business consulting support availableTo make it easier for advisers who are looking to grow, manage and maximise their employer super business, ING has developed a suite of business consulting support, that we believe is more comprehensive and focused purely on helping you grow your business, than any others in the market.

The business consulting modules include Planning and Value Proposition Development, Sales Management and Conversion Activity as well as Lead Generation. To gain access to this support, talk to your ING Business Development Manager today.

We’re enhancing member communicationsFrom 1 July, Integra Super will also boast improved member communication and education support, including:

> New member welcome kits – Integra Super welcome documentation is being overhauled to be clearer, more concise and effective in explaining the benefits to a member of their new Integra Super account. The new kits will also be light weight, and will focus on the importance of taking control of and boosting super savings. The kit will even include an interactive CD Rom!

> New member presentations – new presentations are being developed that support our new welcome kit messages, and outline the benefits of Integra Super and general super strategies. These presentations will be designed so you can pick and choose slides to create your own member seminar.

> L-earn online enhancements – ING’s highly regarded financial education program, is set to become even better – more super content is being added, as well as new calculators, including a risk profiler, an extra contributions calculator and even a new super projection calculator.
