Praemium targets SMSF growth
Platform providers Praemium are targeting a 10 per cent share of the Australian self managed super fund (SMSF) market in the next three years from its current level of four per cent of SMSFs administered, according to group chief executive Arthur Naoumidis.
Praemium will try to attract an increase in SMSF business through a combination of changes to the group’s V-Wrap platform, positional product changes, changes to the investment register and improvements to the interface with the compliance software, Naoumidis said.
One of the most important aspects of Praemium’s push into the SMSF market will be its SMARTwrap product, which will allow the group to target the remaining 90 per cent of the market rather than just clients who are wealthy enough to invest directly in wholesale or direct equity products, Naoumidis said.
With incoming fiduciary duty requirements advisers would have to justify putting clients into a product that cost twice as much as SMARTwrap, Naoumidis said.

A recent NSW Supreme Court decision is an important reminder that while super funds may be subject to restrictive superannuation and tax laws, in essence they are still a trust and subject to equitable and common law claims, says a legal expert.
New research from the University of Adelaide has found SMSFs outperformed APRA funds by more than 4 per cent in 2021–22.
The SMSF Association has made a number of policy recommendations for the superannuation sector in its pre-budget submission to the government.
