The Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) has revealed it will dedicate more time to the SMSF space, namely increasing its education efforts for trustees about alternatives.

Saxo Capital Markets and OpenMarkets have announced a strategic alliance to deliver a combined holder identification number (HIN) and international equities fintech trading solution, which will address a need from SMSFs looking for global investment diversification.

Financial collaboration platform myprosperity has announced it has completed its integration with BGL’s Simple Fund 360 cloud SMSF solution, enabling a holistic view of a client’s super and non-super assets.

Advised SMSFs outstripped self-directed SMSFs over the 12 months to June 2016, according to the latest industry research.

Online peer-to-peer (P2P) lending firm LendEx has revealed it has not seen evidence of SMSFs using aggressive limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBA) on the platform as inquiries for loan requests increase.

The opportunity to use additional non-concessional contributions (NCC) of up to $300,000 to put into super will not result in a surge of SMSFs suddenly downsizing their homes in order to boost their balances.
