Adviser platform provider Hub24 has revealed new SMSF clients are now using its international separately managed account (SMA) offering as a result of advisers taking this approach when it comes to direct investing in overseas assets.

Australian independent financial data repository InvestmentLink today announced it will provide My SMSF access to its platform of data feeds under its grant program.

An SMSF technical expert has highlighted a significant problem with the new superannuation measures’ approach of using balance thresholds for non-concessional contributions (NCC).

The Self-managed Independent Superannuation Funds Association (SISFA) will call on the government to defer the 1 July 2017 start date for super measures included in the federal budget to allow for a sensible implementation period.

One of the biggest fallacies in SMSF administration is that an SMSF trustee is entitled to an account-based pension once they reach their preservation age, which in turn leads to a disregard of the associated cash restriction in relation to the member’s preservation age.
