Sydney, Australia, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Australian superannuation regulations require self-managed super funds to maintain a documented investment strategy that covers asset allocation, liquidity, diversification, and both income and capital objectives. The Australian Taxation Office mandates that the strategy be reviewed at least annually. For trustees building that strategy around delivering monthly income, the income side of the portfolio will be reviewed closely. The latest ATO data shows the SMSF sector now holds A$1.06 trillion in assets across 663,867 funds, with cash and term deposit allocations falling to 16.3% of holdings, a record low, as trustees look beyond traditional cash products.

Sydney, Australia, June 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With annual inflation at 4.6% in the year to March 2026 and roughly 4.4 million Australians now aged 65 and over, retirees face a sharpening challenge: turning a lifetime of savings into income that keeps pace with the rising cost of groceries, fuel and everyday essentials. The pressure is compounded by longevity, with many Australians spending two or even three decades in retirement, and by a shift in mindset that retirement itself demands. In the accumulation years, investors can ride out market volatility and recover losses over time; in the drawdown phase, with shorter horizons and less capacity to recoup losses, the priority moves to predictable income and preserving purchasing power.
