Common questions about Market Maven, features, pricing, and market data access
Here are some common questions about Market Maven, organized by topic for easy navigation.
Market Maven is a next-generation market intelligence platform for the
Australian superannuation, life insurance, and financial advice sectors. We
bring together expansive market insights to help you better understand
industry dynamics, identify trends, and benchmark your performance against
peers using interactive reports.
We currently cover three major sectors in the Australian financial services
industry: Superannuation (including trustees, funds, members, assets,
benefits, flows, contributions, fees, payments, products, and investments),
Life Insurance (including insurers, premiums, policies, sales, lapses,
claims, disputes, profit, revenue, expenses, assets, and capital), and
Financial Advice (including advisers, licensees, movements, entrants, exits,
transfers, locations, qualifications, and associations).
Our platform helps you automate and expand your market intelligence,
providing accurate and actionable insights that guide better
decision-making. With interactive reports, market-specific Q\&A, and
report personalisation, you can uncover new market opportunities, gain
competitive intelligence, benchmark performance, identify trends before
competitors, and make data-driven strategic decisions with confidence.
Market Maven is committed to providing the most accurate, up-to-date
information. We source our data from trusted regulatory bodies including
APRA and ASIC, with supporting context from sources such as RBA and ABS
where relevant. Refresh timing depends on each source's publication cadence
and the report processing schedule.
We take data security seriously. Our platform is built using
enterprise-grade infrastructure and we have implemented robust data
governance measures. We do not collect organizational or personal data, and
instead rely on trusted public and regulatory sources to drive insights.
This reduces the need for organizations to share commercial data with us.
## Platform features
Our AI Q\&A functionality allows you to explore market data using natural
language processing. You can ask complex questions in your own words, and
the system provides interactive results with automatic visualizations.
Results appear as report visuals where the underlying dataset supports
the query, and you can use filters, tooltips, and drill actions for deeper
analysis.
Yes! You can easily export your market analysis to Excel for deeper analysis
and integration into corporate presentations and reports. Export support

interactions, report-specific filters and slicers, saved views, favourites,
source lookup, competitive benchmarking, trend analysis, and drill-up or
drill-down functionality where supported.
The platform features an intuitive dashboard with easy navigation between
different markets and analytics tools. Interactive charts and filters let
you explore data instantly, and you can customize your view based on your
specific business needs.
Unlike static reports and manual data collection, Market Maven provides
faster strategic insights with interactive analysis, enhanced
accuracy through automation, built-in transparency with visibility into data
sources, modern intuitive tools that are easy to use,
seamless integration for sharing insights, and cost-effective access to
comprehensive market intelligence.

## AI Q\&A Feature
### How It Works
1. **Open a Q\&A report:** Each market includes a Q\&A report in the catalogue
2. **Natural Language Input:** Type questions as you would ask a colleague
3. **Visual Answers:** Results appear as interactive visuals where the linked dataset supports the query
4. **Follow-up Exploration:** Use filters, tooltips, drill actions, and related report pages to investigate further
### Example Questions
**Superannuation Queries:**
* "What are the top 10 super funds by assets under management?"
* "Show me member flow trends for retail funds over the past 5 years"
* "Which funds have the lowest fees in the balanced category?"
**Life Insurance Queries:**
* "Compare lapse rates across major life insurers"

## Report Analytics
### Interactive Exploration
Interactive reports help you identify patterns in large regulatory datasets:

underlying report dataset. Always validate important decisions against the
report source context and your domain expertise.
## Tips for Better Results

Market Maven brings together millions of market data points to help you
understand industry dynamics, identify trends, and benchmark market
participants using interactive reports.

sector.
Understand the shifting landscape with insights on advisers, licensees,
movements, entrants, exits, transfers, locations, qualifications, and
associations.
## Key features
