Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 4 April 2025. The topic for this week is: Investing outside of super. Most Australians know the benefits of superannuation investing for their retirement. In this episode our own Financial Planner Luke Smith takes a deep dive into the issues you may consider when considering investing outside of your super. To start the show though, Luke and Leon discuss the news that some industry funds have been subject to cyber attacks, where some pension members have had money taken from their account. If a super fund member has concerns, they should contact their industry super fund and share their concerns.
