First Home Saver

The FHSS scheme allows eligible individuals to utilise their superannuation to save a portion of the money required for a home deposit. It does this by allowing the release of voluntary contributions up to certain limits, along with associated earnings from 1 July 2018. Eligible contributions from 1 July 2017 can count towards the scheme.

Fixed interest and other income-oriented asset classes continue to be challenged by the prospect of rising inflation and tighter monetary policy.

In Australia, there have been some promising signs that the pace of business activity is picking up, although the benefits for growth assets are being held back by the ongoing weakness of the financial stocks.
