In this week's episode, Paige Estritori presents significant movements in the Australian superannuation scene. The federal government plans to raise the superannuation guarantee to 10.5% from July, promising a boost to workers' retirement savings. Meanwhile, Victoria's government pilots a scheme allowing self-managed superannuation funds to invest in regional infrastructure projects, diversifying their portfolios. Superannuation returns are reportedly increasing in Sydney, although consumers are warned of market volatility. Points of concern include changes in Queensland's Public Sector Superannuation Scheme's indexing system and South Australia's move to 'opt-in' insurance in superannuation, sparking debates around underinsurance risks. The Australian Financial Complaints Authority also prepares for an influx of superannuation-related complaints this year.
