Advisers will not need to worry about the distinction between the personal and general transfer balance caps (TBC) until these parameters have had indexation provisions applied to them, an SMSF technical expert has said.

SMSF administrator Xpress Super has experienced organic growth of 100 per cent during the 2017 financial year and chief executive Olivia Long is confident the trend will continue in the new year.

The changes to the superannuation system could be increasing the risk levels involved for financial advisers due to their restrictive nature and the increasing need to put strategies in place as early as possible to facilitate the best possible client outcome, according to a technical expert.

Financial advisers need to use suitable benchmarks to assess the performance of their clients’ SMSFs in order to give trustees the best possible opportunity to make informed investment decisions, an investment analyst has said.
