There has been continued and exponential growth in the SMSF sector over the past few years, borne out by the data collected each year by Class. This year's Benchmark Report once again highlighted just how fast the sector is growing and where that is occuring. In this week's episode of the SMSF Adviser Show podcast, hosts Aaron Dunn from Smarter SMSF, and Keeli Cambourne talk with Tim Steele, Class CEO, about the latest data in the Benchmark Report and extrapolate what this means for the sector now, and what it could mean over the next few years.

Listen as they discuss:

• New data indicating that SMSFs are becoming the choice in superannuation as indicated by the increase in outflows from APRA-regulated funds;
• The impact of the LRBA ban on residential property and what it means in the big picture of Australia's housing crisis;
• The increasing role of technology and AI in the SMSF space;
• How APRA funds may respond to the increased uptake of SMSFs
