In this podcast, Paige Estritori from Financial Services Online presents a weekly superannuation news wrap for Australia dated October 7th, 2025. She discusses the impact of market volatility on super fund investments, noting that reactive decisions during periods of low markets can lead to missed recovery opportunities. This is exemplified by HESTA's 8.0% growth versus 1.82% returns from cash options following US tariff announcements. The CEO of HESTA recommends seeking tailored financial advice. Additionally, data from AMPs Retirement Confidence Pulse reveals a lack of confidence amongst Australian women about their retirement savings due to various factors such as cost of living, gender pay gap, and financial illiteracy. Financial advisors are highlighted as crucial in addressing this issue through fostering understanding and trust.
