SMSF’s – Significantly Influencing Australia’s $2 Trillion Superannuation
Australians are increasingly turning to Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSF’s) to grow their wealth and prepare for ‘life after work’. Since 2010, the number of new SMSF’s has grown by more than 6% pa, and has quickly become a heavy weight contributor to the $2 trillion superannuation industry.
Popularity Of SMSF’s On The Increase
According to the ATO‘s most recent report on SMSF’s, between 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2015, the number of SMSF’s grew from 414,168 to 556,998. This rise in SMSF’s has allowed a major milestone to be reached for 2015, with more than 1 million Australians using SMSF’s as a wealth creation tool for their retirement.
SMSF assets are up a staggering 66 per cent, to $590 billion in the past six years. Over the same period, the average assets of an SMSF grew by 24 per cent to $1.1 million, while the average assets held per member increased by 24.7 per cent to $562,000.

In 1984, a fast food ad asked a question that became a catchphrase. Where’s the beef? Jon Gray, President of Blackstone, used that line this month in front of global LPs. It is the question every capital allocator is asking about AI. Trillions of dollars are going into chips, data centres and power. That is […]
The Best of Both Worlds: How Omnique Fund is Rewiring Real World Assets via Tokenisation
For decades, the playbook for Australia’s wholesale investors has remained relatively unchanged: pick between the slow-moving, illiquid reliability of tangible assets like property and gold, or chase the frictionless, high-velocity liquidity of public equity and digital markets. But as macroeconomic volatility spikes and a structural housing deficit reshapes private debt demand, sophisticated investors are demanding […]
