RG 245 Fee disclosure statements	22/2/2017	This guide is for persons who provide personal advice to retail clients, and their professional advisers (such as lawyers).
This guide explains the fee disclosure statement (FDS) obligations in Div 3 of Pt 7.7A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) for persons who provide personal advice to retail clients under an ongoing fee arrangement.
As well as some minor changes to remove outdated references, RG 245 has been updated to:
•	reflect technical amendments to the FOFA legislation since the previous version of RG 245 was released; and
•	clarify that the three limited no-action positions that were previously taken by ASIC in respect of the obligations to prepare and give a fee disclosure statement (FDS) are no longer available. These no-action positions were taken to assist the industry to make a smooth transition to meeting the FDS obligations, which have now been in force for some time.	MR 17-039	
RG 97 Disclosing fees and costs in PDSs and periodic statements	23/2/2017	This guide is for issuers of most superannuation products and managed investment products issued to retail clients, which are required to make disclosure in accordance with the enhanced fee disclosure regulations.
It provides guidance on how to disclose fees and costs in Product Disclosure Statements (PDSs) and periodic statements.
Note: Some information in this guide is also relevant to issuers of investment life insurance products and operators of investor directed portfolio services (IDPSs) and managed discretionary account (MDA) services.
Updated to provide guidance in relation to ASIC Corporations (Amendment) Instrument 2016/1224, which extended the transition period for Class Order [CO 14/1252] Technical modifications to Schedule 10 of the Corporations Regulations and modified the disclosure of borrowing costs by superannuation trustees. 
The updated RG 97 also makes clear that the guidance also applies to Managed Discretionary Account providers from 1 October 2017.	No MR	
RG 257 Testing fintech products and services without holding an AFS or credit licence	24/2/2017	This is a guide for financial technology (fintech) businesses seeking to test products and services before they obtain an Australian financial services (AFS) licence or Australian credit licence (credit licence). 
We explain the options available for testing without a licence. This can occur where:
•	there are existing statutory exemptions or flexibility in the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) and National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009 (National Credit Act);
•	the business can rely on ASIC’s relief under ASIC Corporations (Concept Validation Licensing Exemption) Instrument 2016/1175 or ASIC Credit (Concept Validation Licensing Exemption) Instrument 2016/1176 for testing certain specified products and services; or
•	for other services, where ASIC grants individual relief.
All of these measures collectively form Australia’s ‘regulatory sandbox’ framework.
Updated to account for amendments made to the ASIC Corporations (Concept Validation Licensing Exemption) Instrument 2016/1175 which make it clear that the fintech licensing exemption (also known as the ‘regulatory sandbox’) also applies to debentures, stocks or bonds issued or proposed to be issued by the Australian Government.	No MR	
RG 175 Licensing: Financial product advisers—Conduct and disclosure	22/3/2017	This is a guide for persons who provide financial product advice to retail clients, and their professional advisers (such as lawyers). 
This guide considers how certain conduct and disclosure obligations in Pt 7.7 and Div 2 of Pt 7.7A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) apply to the provision of financial product advice.
RG 175 has been updated to reflect regulatory and legislative changes, including revisions to the Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) reforms.
The updates to RG 175 are generally technical in nature and do not represent substantive policy changes.	MR 17-075	
RG 97 Disclosing fees and costs in PDSs and periodic statements	29/3/2017	This guide is for issuers of most superannuation products and managed investment products issued to retail clients, which are required to make disclosure in accordance with the enhanced fee disclosure regulations.
It provides guidance on how to disclose fees and costs in Product Disclosure Statements (PDSs) and periodic statements.
Note: Some information in this guide is also relevant to issuers of investment life insurance products and operators of investor directed portfolio services (IDPSs) and managed discretionary account (MDA) services.
RG 97 has been reissued to make the following technical amendments and corrections:
•	paragraph numbers from RG 97.5 corrected 
•	cross references updated
•	Table 2 amended to clarify the transition period, and
•	key points for section C updated to include new paragraphs on borrowing costs (RG 97.168–RG 97.170).	No MR	
RG 140 Strata schemes and management rights schemes	12/4/2017	This guide is for operators and promoters of properties that are, or are proposed to be, managed for investors.
It explains:
•	how the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act) relating to managed investment schemes apply to arrangements involving real property, including under strata or community title (e.g. units in a serviced apartment, hotel, motel or resort complex), and certain freehold titles or leasehold interests (referred to in this guide as ‘strata schemes’); and
•	the conditional relief we have given, in ASIC Corporations (Serviced Apartment and Like Schemes) Instrument 2016/869, to operators and promoters of strata schemes, including management rights schemes, from the managed investment, Australian financial services (AFS) licensing, product disclosure and hawking provisions of the Corporations Act.
ASIC has updated Regulatory Guide 140 Strata schemes and management rights schemes (RG 140), after issuing two legislative instruments in September 2016 to replace several sunsetting class orders that dealt with relief for property, strata and management rights schemes.	MR 17-112
