The Financial Sector Reform (Hayne Royal Commission Response) Act 2020 implemented recommendations made by the Financial Services Royal Commission on banning the hawking of superannuation products.
The Act strengthens the existing hawking prohibition in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) by replacing the three separate prohibitions for the hawking of financial products, securities, and interests in managed investment schemes with one general prohibition.
The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) recently updated its guidance in Regulatory Guide 38: The hawking prohibitions (RG 38) for people who offer financial products for issue or sale in situations involving unsolicited contact with consumers.
