Research conducted by Susan Bell Research has been cited in a report released by ASIC entitled Review of Superannuation PDS's (October 2010).

The report can be found at

The report cites our work testing PDS's for the Financial Services Working Group in which we analysed the difficulties that consumers had understanding investment and superannuation PDSs.

ASIC's report lists recommendations for the new shorter PDSs.

Susan Bell Research has a lot of experience in PDS testing, especially constructive testing.  We help you rewrite or redesign, if the test has revealed comprehension problems. We can also provide short training courses for PDS writers.
