    AI, global markets and SMSFs: How advisers can find the next wave of opportunities

    In this episode of the SMSF Adviser Show, host Keith Ford is joined by Robert Talevski, CEO of Webull Securities Australia, to explore how technology and global markets are reshaping advice and SMSF investing. Talevski argues that if trustees and advisers go to the effort of running a self‑managed fund, they should be thinking beyond simple passive exposures, while still respecting client risk profiles, retirement horizons and the extra admin burden inside super. Tune in to hear: Why the bigger opportunity may sit with companies using AI rather than building it. How ETF use is evolving toward active, thematic and outcome‑focused products. The value of advisers looking offshore for opportunities and global diversification.

    Div 296 draft legislation with Peter Burgess: Fairness, death benefits and CGT

    In this episode of the SMSF Adviser podcast, hosts Keith Ford and Aaron Dunn dissect the draft Division 296 legislation with SMSF Association CEO Peter Burgess, including the fresh challenges around equity, complexity and "system neutrality" between SMSFs and large APRA funds. Breaking down the association's submission to the draft legislation consultation, Burgess stresses that while the sector "won the battle" on unrealised gains, the new fight is ensuring that realised earnings allocated to in‑scope members are fair and transparent, especially given the different calculation methods across fund types.
