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.

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.
