‘…if all Australians were to genuinely benefit from superannuation, then in 25 years time when the
market had matured, everyone would have an SMSF as only an SMSF can actually meet each individual’s
needs for their retirement!’Jeremy Cooper

• Sector poised for growth ‐ coming from a new segment‐ Middle Australians
• Traditional ‘advice’ model redundant‐ Reposition to financial mentor
• Contribution caps are stifling growth‐ In retirement income & in National savings ( $74k or $15bn less pa)
• Providers need to break the ‘product’ mindset‐ ETFs; a low cost implementation solution
• Trustees have a right to quality information and services‐ Genuine desire to be responsible decision makers‐ Genuine requirement for competent specialist SMSF advice
Lessons learned from the research…
