Part 2: Highlights from the SMSF Association National Conference 2025
In this special two-part episode of the SMSF Adviser Show, hosts Keith Ford and Aaron Dunn are joined by a selection of prominent industry members at the SMSF Association National Conference.
In part two, Tracey Scotchbrook, head of policy and advocacy at the SMSF Association, joins to break down the major regulatory issues impacting the sector, including the ongoing confusion around how to apply wholesale investor thresholds for SMSFs.
Ben Marshan, director at Marshan Consulting, also joins the show to talk about the importance of financial advisers staying ahead of regulatory shifts to ensure they are prepared for the future, rather than waiting for long-gestating reforms to take place before streamlining their practice.
Finally, Peter Crump, senior consultant at BDO, covers the importance of an exit plan for SMSF members and the considerations that can maximise client outcomes when it comes time to wind up a fund.
