In this edition of Weekly Superannuation News Wrap, Australia's UniSuper introduces a new digital advice platform developed with Ignition Advice, targeting the middle market segment. This platform will initially offer investment advice and gradually expand to include contributions and pension planning. A report by the Association of Super Funds of Australia shows six million previously uninsured Australians now have life insurance coverage via their superannuation, indicating a growing trend in group insurance.
