SMSFs: 10 things you should know about when buying property

Most people are surprised to hear that SMSFs account for some $328 billion or 31.8% of total superannuation assets. With a massive 32% investment in cash or $105 billion across all SMSFs, there is ongoing discussion as to whether these funds are fully invested, and how many are simply sitting wholly in cash rather than growth assets. Of the total $328 billion in SMSF assets, only $45.2 billion or 14% is held in direct property, and just $81.6 billion or 25% in listed shares and equities. Over time this allocation to shares has been falling as the allocation to cash has increased, while direct property has only seen modest growth.
