Understanding the importance of your super

Superannuation in Australia is a term used to describe an investment entity for wealth accumulation and retirement planning. Almost all people in Australia, when they commence employment or start their own business, can participate in contributions to their superannuation.

Each month, your employer or business pays a proportion of your wages into a fund specifically established for superannuation. From 1 July 2024, it was determined that your employer will put 11.5% (and 12% from 1 July 2025) of your salary and wages into a superannuation fund, known as the superannuation guarantee levy or superannuation guarantee rate.

The rate has increased and may continue to increase over time, making it a vital wealth accumulation tool. For more information about the current and future rate of super contributions, visit the ATO’s Super Guarantee page.

As you can imagine, over a lifetime of work and superannuation contributions in Australia, together with the impact of compounding returns, the wealth accumulation strategies you select will have a significant impact on how comfortable your retirement will be.

Wealth accumulation strategies with Setch Group

There are many ways to build wealth through your super fund, and the team at Setch is here to help you find the one that’s right for you.

For instance, you may contribute additional amounts personally or through what is known as salary sacrifice as a wealth accumulation strategy. However, there are rules and caps because of the significant wealth accumulation benefits from superannuation. Further contributions can be made concessionally or non-concessionally.

Contributions are made in different ways depending on personal circumstances, including how and when they are made and the type of contributions they are. Given this complexity, it’s important to consider the expertise of a financial advisor who can guide you in developing super wealth accumulation strategies in Australia.

Frequently asked questions

Superannuation wealth accumulation refers to the process of building savings and investments within a superannuation fund over time, with the goal of accumulating sufficient funds to provide financial security during retirement.

Superannuation wealth accumulation involves making regular contributions to a superannuation fund, either through employer contributions, personal contributions, or non concessional contributions. These contributions are then invested across various asset classes to generate returns and grow the fund’s value over time.

The amount you should contribute to your superannuation depends on factors such as your age, income level, retirement goals, debts, surplus cashflow and lifestyle expectations. It is essential to strike a balance between current financial needs and long-term retirement savings goals.

Maximising wealth accumulation in your superannuation fund involves regular contributions, choosing appropriate investment options based on your risk tolerance and goals, reviewing and adjusting your investment strategy periodically, and taking advantage of employer contributions and government incentives.
