Australian Unity response to ASIC announcing civil penalty proceedings regarding Select Income Fund

11 June 2025

Tags: Media

Australian Unity Funds Management Limited (AUFM) acknowledges that today the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has announced that it has issued civil penalty proceedings against AUFM, as the responsible entity of the Australian Unity Select Income Fund (SIF). 

The action relates to alleged breaches of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Act) design and distribution obligations (DDO) by AUFM during the period between October 2021 (when the DDO came into effect) and October 2023. 

This follows AUFM self-reporting relevant matters to ASIC in September and October 2023. Importantly, the proceedings do not concern aspects of SIF's operational management or the integrity of SIF investment products. 

Australian Unity treats all regulatory matters with the utmost seriousness and has assisted ASIC throughout its investigation leading up to the issuing of the proceedings.  

Australian Unity remains focused on continuing to offer retail investors access to varied investment opportunities, while meeting related regulatory obligations.
