In this episode, we discuss the importance of paying attention to superannuation, as 12% of an employee’s income is allocated to it. We explain that superannuation is a tax-effective trust structure designed to help grow wealth for retirement. Also, we explore various types of superannuation funds—industry, retail, wrap platforms, and self-managed super funds (SMSFs)—highlighting their differences in investment options, insurance, and complexity. Furthermore we emphasize the need to review your super fund as life circumstances change and advise seeking professional guidance due to the complexity and long-term impact of these decisions.
