It is imperative for advisers to inform their clients about the federal government’s planned superannuation changes during the current period of uncertainty about the proposals resulting from a lack of legislation and the upcoming election, according to a specialist superannuation lawyer.

Adviser Network has launched a cloud-based solution designed to help accountants continue to provide advice on the appropriateness of SMSFs to their clients in an easy, compliant and efficient manner.

SMSF administrator Triple A Super has announced it will provide its services through automated advice provider Ignition Wealth, creating a seamless administration and investment advice platform for SMSFs.

Macquarie’s inaugural report into accounting and financial services has revealed high-performing firms addressed and catered to the needs of SMSFs, either in-house, through referral arrangements or through outsourcing.

Dealing with divorce has been flagged as a major issue that will affect advisers and SMSF trustees if the new super contribution proposals go ahead.

Limited recourse borrowing arrangements (LRBA) via SMSFs will be affected by the new safe harbour guidelines as well as bank lending rules and the latest interest rate cut, which could result in a lower natural level set for borrowing going forward.

BGL Corporate Solutions has provided Simple Fund 360 clients with a big data search capability to initially identify which of the SMSFs they administer are affected by the federal government’s proposed lifetime $500,000 non-concessional cap (NCC), with further enhancements intended.
