Welcome to the Spring edition of Fundamental for 2021.

We are entering a significant period of transition for the investment funds industry and significant changes are in the pipeline. With the countdown on to a raft of industry reforms commencing in October 2021 we feature a guide to surviving the new Design and Distribution Obligations, highlight the new breach reporting provisions, and explain the changes to the anti-hawking prohibitions.

We also take a close look at other topical issues for the real estate and funds management industries—

• the steps you should take if you receive an AFCA complaint
• the new rent relief measures for New South Wales and Victoria
• mitigating the risk of 'greenwashing'
• duty and land tax changes in Victoria
• changes to customer identification procedures
• the move towards 100 percent e-conveyancing in New South Wales
• a round-up of useful lessons for the real estate industry from recent cases
• fees for no services
• whether a wholesale fund is compliant.

We hope you enjoy Fundamental and look forward to your feedback.
