In February this year, The SMSF Professionals Association of Australia (SPAA) in collaboration with Russell Investments published an inaugural annual study of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) based on an extensive survey of SMSF Trustees.

The intention of the annual study is to understand trustee views on investing, Government regulation, financial advice and managing an SMSF and track the changing and evolving nature of SMSFs. The insights from the report will be used by professionals, regulators, Government and the industry to better understand the superannuation sector’s future intentions.

The research is being conducted by independent financial services research consultancy CoreData across its database of investors Australia-wide.  As many SMSF Trustees as possible are encouraged to participate in the survey and help shape the future direction of the SMSF industry.

The survey will take between 10-20 minutes, subject to your answers.
