SPECIAL NOTE
The ABS proposes to move the release date of Managed Funds from the December 2016 quarter onwards to align closer to the release of Australian National Accounts: Finance and Wealth (cat. no. 5232.0). Dependant on feedback, future release dates will be three weeks prior to the release of Australian National Accounts: Finance and Wealth, with the exception of September quarters which will be released two weeks prior. The proposed new date for the December 2016 quarter release is 9 March 2017. The ABS invites any feedback on this change to be sent to financial.statistics@abs.gov.au.

SUPERANNUATION DATA
As the ABS has previously advised, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) introduced an enhanced set of reporting forms for Registrable Superannuation Entities (RSEs) from September quarter 2013. A number of data items provided from the new APRA collections significantly deviate from the previous ones, both in concept and definition. Where the impact on an affected series could not be estimated, the ABS has been moving forward the affected series using cautiously chosen indicators derived from other ABS collections that have a very strong historical correlation to these series. This methodology will continue to be applied until additional superannuation data collection requirements can be implemented by APRA which satisfy the conceptual and definitional requirements of the ABS. Users are advised to continue exercising caution when using superannuation data in this publication.
