Rob Pizzichetta of Mont Wealth examines the surge in self-managed super funds (SMSFs), noting nearly $8B moved from industry funds and 5% SMSF membership growth in 2025, driven mainly by a desire for investment control and recent tax incentives—especially for property inside super. He argues many Gen X and millennials don’t actually need an SMSF to access shares, ETFs, or tailored investing, and outlines the significant trustee workload, legal liability, compliance risks, and typical running costs (median ~$10k; average ~$19k annually), with cost-effectiveness often requiring $500k–$1m balances. He explains property-in-SMSF complexity (LRBAs, deposits, restrictions, caps, concentration risk) and positions Mont Wealth as offering differentiated strategies without SMSF governance burdens.
