Over $4.6 trillion sits inside the Australian super system, but for many investors, it’s simply left inside default funds with little control over how it’s invested.

In this episode of The Property Nerds, we sit down with Natalia Clack from Easy Super to unpack the growing trend of Australians taking control of their retirement savings through Self Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) and how property is becoming part of that strategy.

We unpack:

1. Why SMSFs surged in popularity after 2020
2. The biggest mistakes people make when setting up a fund
3. How Australians are using super to invest in property
4. Why borrowing power outside super is pushing investors to look inside it
5. The common balances and ages where SMSFs start to make sense

If you’ve ever wondered whether your super could be working harder for you, this episode breaks down the structure, risks and opportunities investors need to understand.
