The future of SMSFs looks promising, with several key trends shaping their evolution in the coming years. One of the strongest drivers is the increasing demand for control and transparency. Investors are becoming more informed and engaged in their financial decisions. The appeal of having direct control over investment choices, from property and shares to alternative assets, will continue to attract more Australians toward SMSFs. Clients increasingly value transparency around fees, performance, and investment impact — something SMSFs naturally support through self-direction and accountability.
