Luke on 2CC – A MINI won’t pull a horse float!

Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 29 August 2025. The topic for this week is: A MINI won’t pull your horse float! This topic is a metaphor about investing for your retirement goals and having the right superannuation fund to do that. Luke is joined by Leon of 2CC. They start this week’s show by talking about how cold it is in Canberra. It’s very fresh at this time of year.

Thank you for joining us live on 2CC, YouTube or your favourite podcast streaming service for ‘The Strategy Stacker – Luke Talks Money’.

Key topics covered include:

A MINI won’t pull a horse float – what does this metaphor mean in the context of financial planning?

We buy cars for certain reasons, we also need the right super fund for certain reasons.

It’s about features and options, like cars, the same can be said for super funds.

It’s not about disliking one type of super fund (for example an industry fund, personal fund or SMSF), it’s about choosing the right fund for your needs.

What are the differences between super funds?

What are the steps to selecting the right super fund? Use this format: Strategy, Structure and then Investment purchases.

Does balance impact the choice of super fund you have?

Luke shares his top tips around selecting and using superannuation funds to best effect.
