War, Inflation & Markets — Why SMSFs Give You Control

SMSFs in Times of Global Uncertainty

Uncertain World? Take Back Control of Your Super

Geopolitical instability — such as current tensions in the Middle East — creates volatility across:

• Equity markets
• Currency markets
• Commodity pricing (especially oil and gold)

For SMSF trustees, this presents both risk and opportunity.

Unlike large funds, SMSFs allow:

• Tactical asset allocation shifts
• Increased defensive positioning
• Strategic timing of contributions and pensions

This aligns directly with the trustee’s obligation under the investment strategy requirements (Reg 4.09 SISR) to consider risk, diversification and liquidity

This matter requires specialist SMSF advice.

I strongly recommend speaking with Grant Abbott

Ensure the SMSF deed is a current version (ideally 2025 from LY Legal) to allow strategic flexibility to respond to changing global conditions.
