In this episode of Superannuation News Wrap hosted by Paige Estritori, two key issues are discussed
The first is a landmark reform in Australia to reduce gender superannuation gap by making superannuation payable on Commonwealth Paid Parental Leave, a measure that could reduce the gap by 25%
This change may benefit over 200,000 Australian mothers annually, although regional disparities persist
The second topic focuses on the Australian Financial Complaints Authority clarifying the classification of self-managed super funds as retail or wholesale investors
This classification is dependent on the fund's asset value
