Dear %%first_name%%,

SMSFs are back in the news again. It looks like our outperformance and SMSF trustees’ general happiness with their funds, is causing the rest of the industry some concern. Oh and add to that the fact that we’re still getting the majority of super fund inflows. It should come as no surprise given that the new government is embarking on a major financial services industry inquiry (the Murray Review), and we should all expect some more unfounded flak in the months ahead.

Today in the Switzer Super Report we have Barrie Dunstan looking at the latest info about our sector, and why we are all so happy. Roger Montgomery examines a little known healthcare company with a salesforce to be reckoned with – Life HealthCare – and Tony Negline reports on three big recent decisions by the regulators that may impact your fund.

Given the lackluster performance of some of the big insurers lately, our Questions of the Week today look at whether or not to hold onto IAG and/or QBE.

We’re also getting a lot of queries from readers on buying international shares lately, so are re-running How to buy international shares today for you, and Penny Pryor responds to some of the criticism of SMSFs this week.



Sincerely,

Peter Switzer
