Sydney-based research house Dexx&r has predicted that Australia’s superannuation market will increase by an annual growth rate of 9.1 per cent to be worth more than $2.7 trillion by 2019.
In an analysis released this week, Dexx&r suggested that much of the growth would be driven by increased growth within the employer, industry and personal superannuation segments.
It said the employer super sector was projected to increase by $189 billion, the industry fund sector by $363 billion and the personal super sector by $187 billion over the 10-year period.
The Dexx&r analysis also projected the retirement incomes market to grow by 11.4 per cent a year to $275 billion. It added that this would be driven by an increase in the number of people entering retirement over the 10-year period.
Superannuation funds have posted another year of strong returns, but this time, the gains weren’t powered solely by Silicon Valley.
Australia’s $4.1 trillion superannuation system is doing more than funding retirements – it’s quietly fuelling the nation’s productivity, lifting GDP, and adding thousands to workers’ pay packets, according to new analysis from the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA).
Large superannuation accounts may need to find funds outside their accounts or take the extreme step of selling non-liquid assets under the proposed $3 million super tax legislation, according to new analysis from ANU.
