Check the AFR for an article on SIP today. There is a rumour of an upcoming merger with API. This was disallowed by the ACCC last time they tried to merge, but I think the AFR said that if SIP is a wholesaler, they could merge without too much drama.
I wonder if API put out as few ANN's as SIP do. We could have two companies that never tell us anything (except for SIP's yearlies and half yearlies... but I'd like more).
