Its a new financial year so updates to super - positive for now!
As of today:-
- Super guarantee payments from employers to employees increase to 12%.
- The General Transfer Balance increases from $1.9m to $2m so you can have more in pension phase.
- Given the above, more should qualify to make after-tax (non concessional contributions) to super.
- No changes to contribution caps.
- Div 296 tax (new tax on super balances over $3m) not yet ratified by parliament but expected to pass and be back dated to today.

We delve into ways to use your current financial resources and cash flow to devise a financial road map to significantly improve your financial position. As mentioned on the podcast:
"The sooner you start building diversified assets outside of your career, the safer your future becomes".

How can you benefit from the misfortunes of AMP? Great to see them reducing fees on their flagship AMP MyNorth Super & Pension offering and you would have to expect that this will flow into pricing from other platform providers over time? It could well be a race to the bottom.
Are you stuck in an outdated, high fee and poorly performing super fund? You only will know if you do due diligence yourself or engage a professional adviser.
Can AMP lift its faded fortunes with lower fees?
The wealth giant has attempted a loss-leading tactic in the $840 billion platform market. But price drops alone won’t win the battle for financial adviser hearts and minds.

Who's the right insurer for you? What's the right cover and how much do you need?
