According to Terry Braithwaite, associate publisher of SMSF Adviser, securing a coveted SMSF Award is a milestone for any business and confirms their level of commitment to the sector as well as to the advisers and trustees they support.

“With over one million SMSF members now controlling approximately $550 billion in assets, SMSF service providers play an essential role in growing this burgeoning sector of Australia’s financial services industry,” Mr Braithwaite said.

“The SMSF Awards recognise those companies that are delivering exceptional service and are a benchmark for excellence in this sector,” he added.

The awards are based on input from SMSF advisers, Mr Braithwaite said, and urged all industry participants to have their say by giving feedback on the companies and products they use or recommend.

“We’re seeking the involvement of all SMSF professionals in this awards program and I urge you to get involved by offering insights into the service, support, pricing and other aspects associated with SMSF services and products. Participating is easy and it only takes around five minutes to complete the online questionnaire,” he said.

“Through your support you’ll help us build a holistic picture of the best performing products and services in this sector, helping to champion the growth of the SMSF advice industry and the very important role it plays in helping Australians build a healthier and happier retirement.”
