Episode Details

Self-managed super funds have been out of favour for a while. With low-cost industry funds, better online platforms and more compliance to deal with, plenty of Australians decided SMSFs were not worth the effort.

So why is everyone talking about them again? In this episode, Paul looks at why recent tax changes could make superannuation even more important in Australia's wealth-building landscape, and why that has some people taking a fresh look at self-managed super. Not because SMSFs are suddenly right for everyone, but because when the rules around other wealth-building structures change, the way you hold and manage your retirement savings starts to matter more. In this episode:

• Why SMSFs are back on the radar

• What the tax changes could mean for wealth builders

• Why super may matter more than ever

• When control over your super starts to become more appealing

• The hidden trade-off that comes with running your own fund

• Why an SMSF is not the right move for everyone
