In this episode of Talk Property To me, hosts Brad East and Aaron Downie explore the impact of Trump's tariffs on the Australian property market and self-managed super funds (SMSFs). We begin by discussing Trump's use of tariffs as a negotiation tool, particularly with China and the U.S., and how these policies have led to significant volatility in global markets, including a $71 billion loss in the ASX. While the direct effects on Australia have been limited, we highlight the challenges faced by Australian e-commerce businesses reliant on Chinese goods now subject to steep tariffs. The conversation shifts to the property market, where we discuss the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) focus on stimulating the economy, which may lead to anticipated interest rate cuts. We explain how these cuts could benefit homeowners and potential buyers by driving property prices up. We also advocate for the advantages of SMSFs in property investment, comparing potential returns from real estate to traditional industry funds. We outline the steps to set up an SMSF and emphasize the importance of viewing initial costs as an investment in future wealth. Finally, we touch on the potential effects of tariffs on the Australian dollar and foreign investment, and we tease our next episode, which will cover recent changes in zoning laws that could simplify building approvals. Join us for this insightful discussion on navigating the intersections of global trade, local property markets, and investment strategies for your financial future. 00:00:00 - Introduction and Overview Welcome back to Talk Property Toomey, discussing Trump's tariffs, property, and self-managed super fund opportunities. 00:00:23 - Rate Cut Predictions Exploring the latest predictions on interest rate cuts and their implications for listeners. 00:00:39 - Trump's Tariffs and Economic Impact Discussion on Trump's use of tariffs as a leverage tool and its effects on the global economy. 00:01:50 - Direct and Indirect Effects on Australia Analyzing the limited direct impacts on Australia and the indirect effects on trade with China and Japan. 00:03:44 - E-commerce Challenges Impact of tariffs on Australian e-commerce stores reliant on Chinese goods for exports to the US. 00:05:00 - Market Volatility and Property Investment The significant capital loss in the ASX and the stability of property as an investment. 00:05:49 - RBA's Shift in Focus The RBA's change from worrying about inflation to stimulating the economy through potential rate cuts. 00:06:39 - Panic Selling in Stock Markets Understanding the effects of panic selling on market stability and individual investment strategies. 00:07:43 - Self-Managed Super Funds vs. Industry Funds Exploring the benefits of self-managed super funds and property investment over traditional industry funds. 00:09:48 - Compounding Growth in Property The advantages of property investment in self-managed super funds and its long-term growth potential. 00:10:57 - Setting Up a Self-Managed Super Fund Steps to establish a self-managed super fund and the importance of commitment in the process. 00:12:10 - Cost vs. Opportunity in Investments Encouraging a focus on long-term wealth creation rather than immediate costs associated with setting up a fund. 00:12:21 - Current Cash Rate and Future Predictions Discussion on the current cash rate and predictions for future rate cuts by the RBA. 00:13:25 - Impact of Rate Cuts on Home Loans How potential rate cuts could affect home loan repayments and savings for homeowners. 00:15:15 - Negotiating with Lenders Advice on keeping banks accountable and negotiating better rates for home loans. 00:15:48 - Foreign Investment and the Australian Dollar Potential impacts of tariffs on the Australian dollar and implications for foreign investment. 00:16:12 - Upcoming Topics on Zoning Laws Preview of the next episode discussing changes in zoning laws and building approvals.

Is putting property into your SMSF a good idea, or could it be too risky? SMSF advisor Liam Shorte from Sonas Wealth joins us today to explore this hot topic, giving practical insights on the benefits of more control, tax advantages, and the hidden costs and risks that SMSF investors often miss. We explore the appeal of property investment within an SMSF for those aiming to diversify their retirement strategies, with Liam highlighting both the potential benefits and risks involved. While property can offer control and growth, Liam has seen many investors fall prey to unqualified advice and costly mistakes. The key, he says, is understanding the rules and avoiding schemes marketed as “one-stop-shops”—these setups often come with high risks and may not align with an investor's long-term goals. We also emphasise the importance of maintaining balance within an SMSF portfolio, ensuring that there's adequate liquidity to support flexibility as life stages and retirement plans evolve. Compliance is another major factor, as SMSFs face strict ATO oversight. From penalties to complex reporting, there's no margin for error, and Liam illustrates this with examples from clients who have successfully coursed through these requirements by investing thoughtfully, like buying commercial property to lease back to a family business. Throughout the episode, Liam shares insights on managing SMSF property investment with smart, tailored strategies. His practical advice provides a framework for building an SMSF that fits your financial goals without overloading on risks or overlooking critical tax and compliance obligations.

SMSFs, the ultimate wealth-building tool, offer complete control over your retirement investments. Picture this: tax rates as low as 15%, zero capital gains tax on property sales, and the ability to invest in diverse assets like property, bonds, and precious metals. The possibilities are endless! Discover how SMSFs can supercharge your financial future. Ready to seize control and amplify your wealth? Tune in now! “A self managed super fund is essentially a superannuation fund which is established and managed by the members themselves. So with a self managed superfund you can invest in property, you can invest in bonds, you can invest in precious metals, you can buy gold bullion, you can have term deposits, you can have managed funds, you can get a share trading platform via Comsec or any of the banks. The opportunities increase. The other reason is that a superfund can actually borrow money. So you are actually increasing the power of your super in terms of investing by being able to use the power of borrowing and leveraging." -Lina de Marco EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 00:00 Introduction 03:31 What is a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF)? 06:15 Investment Flexibility 06:37 Trading in Super Funds 07:07 Property Development in SMSF 09:07 Government Changing Rules 11:39 Investment Advice 12:50 Finding Unbiased Financial Planners 14:52 Passive Investments vs. Active Management 15:36 Renovation Restrictions in Super 18:01 Common Pitfalls and Mistakes 20:01 Advantages for Couples with SMSFs 21:07 Buying Business Premises with SMSF 21:42 Costs and Benefits of Self-Managed Super Funds 23:05 Labeling Renovations in SMSF 24:36 Age Barrier for SMSFs 26:22 Tips for Rolling Over Super Funds 28:59 Setting Up and Running a Self-Managed Super Fund 30:04 Investing in Property through SMSFs 31:15 Contact Information for Lina de Marco Resources Ademus Business Solutions https://ademus.com.au/ The School Of Renovating https://www.theschoolofrenovating.com She Renovates Podcast https://www.theschoolofrenovating.com/podcasts-page/ Connect with The School of Renovating ASK BERNADETTE https://www.theschoolofrenovating.com/podcasts-page Subscribe to She Renovates Apple Podcast https://apple.co/3faoWlT Subscribe to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheSchoolOfRenovating Follow on Twitter https://twitter.com/renovatingsc Follow on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_school_of_renovating

Welcome to this brand-new investing podcast from the London South East. My name is Peter Higgins, you can find me on Twitter @conkers3 and I will be your host for this series of Investing Matters podcasts. What can you expect from the Investing Matters podcasts? A great question. You will find long form interviews with noteworthy veterans and experts from the investment and fund management industry. During these interviews each interviewee will share and impart their knowledge, learning and insights on what aspects of Investing truly matters to them and what in their view should matter to investors. We hope this knowledge exchange benefits all and enables all those accessing and listening to these podcasts to achieve even greater investing success. With that in mind, welcome to episode thirty-six, which is with the hugely talented Sydney, Australia based Jessica Amir, a Market Analyst with the Multi-asset investment specialist Saxo Markets, a subsidiary of Saxo Bank. After her academic studies, Jessica interests in the investments were inspired by her Dad and she started working firstly with him then her Uncle who was an Independent Financial Advisor. During that time she qualified as financial planner. This led to Jessica joining and gain roles and extensive experience at firms including AMP (with many Ultra High Net Worth Individuals), Commonwealth Bank, and Suncorp. Where she learnt many skills and “cut her teeth” in investing. Jessica then began educating individuals about investing and about property initially via her own blogs and then via her own radio show whilst still working as financial planner. The success of this led to her getting a big break in media. Jessica went on to have an extensive broadcast career with experience with Sky News, ABC, Seven Network and Nine Network, where she interviewed Prime Ministers including Tony Abbott, Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd as well as Federal Treasurers and numerous ASX 200 CEOs. In 2019 Jessica joined Bell Direct as a Market Analyst with the responsibility for providing in-depth market and stock selection analysis to identify trading and investment opportunities for Bell Direct clients. Jessica's time at Bell Direct encompassed the Covid lockdown for many in Australia and globally. During which noticed a very different investor behaviours including the rush towards trading meme stocks.

How to make the most of your super increase (after 1 July 2021)

Investopoly

Play Episode Listen Later May 4, 2021 21:01


After 1 July this year, your employer must increase your super contributions from 9.5% to 10% of your salary. This contribution rate will then increase by 0.5% p.a. for the subsequent 4 years until it reaches 12%. This could boost your retirement savings but only if you optimise two things.The government was tempted to delay this increaseIt has been reported that the government was contemplating delaying increasing the Superannuation Guarantee Charge (SGC). The increase in SGC was proposed by the Gillard government back in 2012 but it was subsequently delayed until 1 July 2021. The Morrison government was probably concerned about whether businesses could afford higher employment costs during a pandemic. In addition, some commentators have suggested it would deter higher wage growth because any possibility for wage increases would be thwarted by higher superannuation costs.In my opinion, not delaying the super increase is the right decision. The underlying economy is recovering better than expected. And an increase in wage inflation in the short term is probably unlikely anyway for a variety of reasons. Forcing people to increase the amount they save for their future retirement is a good thing for them personally and the country as a whole.What effect will this have on your future super balance?The table below sets out the projected increase in super balance depending on your income and your super balance today. There are three numbers in each corresponding cell. The first number represents the percentage increase over a 10 year period, the second over 20 years and the third over 30 years. For example, if your super balance is $200k and your income is $150k, then this increased SGC rate over the next 5 years is projected to increase your super balance by 6.1% in 10 years, 9.1% in 20 years and 10.3% in 30 years.See table at https://www.prosolution.com.au/super-increase/As we can see, the increase in SGC really helps people with lower super balances the most.However, if you already have a healthy super balance, the increase in contributions probably isn’t going to have a material impact on your retirement. Instead, fees and returns will have a greater impact on your future balance.It is important to highlight that most people will need to invest in assets in addition to super to be able to enjoy a very comfortable retirement. That is, super alone is rarely sufficient.There are two factors you must optimise:Factor one: Minimise feesFees are guaranteed. Investment returns are not.It is important to minimise investment and administration fees as much as possible. Unlike many things in life, paying higher fees does not generate higher returns. In fact, many studies have shown that there is an inverse relationship between investment fees and investment returns. That is, typically, the lower the fees, the higher the returns. With investments, when you pay more, you receive less.If your super is with an industry super fund, you should aim to pay no more than 0.70% p.a. in investment and admin fees plus a fixed dollar fee of around $100-140 p.a. If your fees are materially more than this, you should review alternative options.Factor two: Maximise returnsThis is an obvious second factor. Of course, you must maximise your investment returns.One of the commonly espoused benefits of industry super funds is that they are non-for-profit, unlike the banks (retail super funds). Of course, all things being equal, that should serve you well. Almost always, retail funds are inferior.However, I would make two important points about industry super funds.Firstly, not aiming to derive a profit is useless, unless you have a fanatical focus on productivity and reducing costs. For example, some charities raise a lot of money for their causes. However, unfortunately, some charities spend more than 40% of that revenue on administration costs. For example, 44% of revenue donated to Make-A-Wish Foundation is spent on administration and advertising. Therefore, being “run only to benefit members” means nothing if there is no accountability to reduce costs. The Productivity Commission in 2019 highlighted that Australian industry super funds have failed to deliver lower fees despite achieving massive scale.Secondly, just because your fund is an industry super fund, doesn’t mean it’s automatically a good option. Industry super fund returns vary greatly. The table below compares the investment returns from the top 8 largest and most well-known industry super funds. I have selected two of the top performers (over 5 and 10 years to March 2021) and compared those to the two bottom performers. As you can see, the returns vary by circa 1% p.a., on average. Over 20 years, that could result in a 13%[1] lower super balance, which is generally going to have a more substantial impact on one’s super balance than the SGC increase. Of course, there are plenty of super funds that have generated even lower returns.See table at https://www.prosolution.com.au/super-increase/The government has proposed to publish returns on an easy-to-understand website to help people compare options. In addition, it will force poor-performing funds to consolidate with larger players. Of course, the success of this lies in its implementation, but any improvement in transparency and accountability is positive.Fees charged by the industry super funds should reduce – but will they?If you operate a super fund, it might cost you say $7 to administer every $1,000 of super you receive (equating to a fee of 0.70% p.a.). When the SGC increases from 9.5% to 12% p.a., instead of receiving $1,000 of contributions, the fund will receive $1,260 of contributions. However, the cost to manage $1,000 or $1,260 should be very similar. Therefore, it should still cost circa $7 or 0.55% p.a.In short, increasing the SGC from 9.5% to 12% should deliver the super industry significant economies of scale. As such, we should expect fees to reduce by 15% to 20% p.a. over the next 5 years. Watch this space.Soon there will be a much better option for Australian’sHistorically, there have been four options available to Australians for their super:1. Retail funds owned by the banks – typically these are characterised by high fees and low returns and are almost always never a good option.2. Wrap accounts which I discuss here. The main disadvantage is that to run it properly, you should engage a financial advisor, which may be economic if you have advice needs beyond super.3. Self Managed Super Funds – because of their high fixed costs, they are typically only worthwhile if you (1) want to invest in direct property and/or (2) have a high balance.4. Industry super funds – which tends to be the best option for those that don’t need a financial advisor and/or don’t have a high balance.However, within the next year a new entrant will appear. It is Vanguard. Vanguard is a US firm founded in 1975 and is the first and largest index fund provider (it manages over $9 trillion globally). It is a mutual organisation meaning it’s not-for-profit, like industry super funds. However, unlike industry super funds, it has a long (almost 5 decades) history of reducing investment fees.Whilst Vanguard has not released any details, I expect this will be a very exciting option for Australians. It’s offering will likely be low-cost, offer absolute transparency (what your money is invested in) which invites more accountability and its investment track record (returns wise) is excellent. When the product arrives, no doubt, I’ll be writing about it here.Vanguard will generate some much needed competition for industry super funds.Good reasons to not switch your superWhilst generally I encourage you to proactively compare your super fund’s fees and returns and switch if they are not suitable, there are some matters to consider before you do that.Firstly, some employer-related funds offer subsidies such as lower fees and free insurance benefits. It’s important to take these into account.Secondly, if you have insurance cover, you should aim to replicate that cover in your new fund, if appropriate. You should do that prior to rolling all your monies over. If the new fund does not agree to providing you with economical insurance cover, you could consider leaving a minimum balance in your old fund just to preserve the insurance.Super may be boring but it’s importantI appreciate that the vast majority of Australian’s are disinterested in super. However, the biggest advantage of super is that it forces us to make long term decisions and enjoy the power of compounding returns. Invest money today and leave it there for 20, 30 or more years. That is powerful.However, it is also incredibly wasteful to not check-in every couple of years to ensure your super fund is still performing well i.e. high returns and low fees. Doing so could dramatically increase your retirement savings.[1] Based on super balance of $350k and income of $200k p.a.

What is an SMSF?The trio take you through a crash course in SMSF basics and who you can turn to for advice.2. How does property fit in the picture?Your SMSF can invest in a number of asset classes, including residential or commercial property, provided that the asset meets your documented ‘investment strategy'. Business owners and those short on cash flow, may find it particularly appealing as a way to invest in property. The trio explain why.3. What attracts people to invest via an SMSF?Managing your own super gives you a higher degree of control over your investment strategy than you would otherwise have if your super was in a managed investment fund. But don't be fooled, it takes a village to run a ‘self'-managed super fund.4. SMSF game changersThe trio explain how the SMSF landscape has changed over time, including the advent of instalment warrant arrangements, which changed the playing field completely in the SMSF space.5. How does SMSF lending stack up?The Property Planner outlines the critical differences between SMSF loans and regular residential mortgages. Do you feel comfortable risking the farm with a personal guarantee?6. SMSF property restrictions you need to be aware ofThe Property Buyer and Planner explain the key restrictions that relate to your SMSF investment strategy and how your freedom in asset selection could be impacted.7. The risks behind purchasing a property in an SMSFLike the boxing day sales, the unfortunate reality is that whenever a new market opens up, the spruikers are the first to run in and elbow their way to a sale. The SMSF market is no different and many mums and dads have fallen prey to dodgy investments and underperforming assets sold to them under the guise of an ‘investment strategy'. An SMSF may be a great strategy for you, if you're getting your advice from an independent expert who is tailoring a strategy specifically for you.8. Can you hear the alarm bells ringing?The Property Planner and Buyer share the tell-tale signs that a bad SMSF decision is about to be made.9. Setting up and running an SMSF, have you got what it takes?So, you want to manage your own super fund? The Property Planner outlines what goes into setting up and maintaining an SMSF.
