Is Your Super a "National Asset"?

20 Aug 2026 · 0:38 · Watch on YouTube

Description

Australia's superannuation system has once again become a topic of discussion, following renewed comments about treating super as a national asset. The idea centres around Australia's superannuation pool, which is one of the largest in the world at around $4.5 trillion. The proposal is that more of this capital could be invested back into the Australian economy, supporting areas such as housing affordability, major infrastructure projects, and the transition to clean energy. The thinking behind this approach is that keeping more superannuation investment onshore could help strengthen Australia's economy while also generating long-term returns for super fund members. Like any major policy proposal, there are both potential benefits and potential drawbacks, and the broader implications continue to be debated. As more details emerge, it will be important to consider how any changes could affect both the Australian economy and the long-term performance of superannuation investments. General advice only.
