SMSF borrowing changes draw mixed industry response 24/06/2026

Headlines today are bigger than the impact.

New borrowings for residential property within SMSFs are out.

Existing arrangements and commercial property borrowing remain untouched, and only one in ten SMSFs borrows at all, representing roughly three per cent of total SMSF assets.

For most of our clients, this changes nothing.

Drew Meredith told AccountantsDaily: "For our clients in retirement it changes little, because borrowing to buy property has never belonged in a retirement plan."

Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon and Meta will spend more on AI infrastructure in 2026 than the entire GDP of Sweden.

If you hold a global equity ETF, you already own all four, around 15% of your global shares exposure.

Two of the biggest retirement regrets we see are sitting at the opposite ends of the same problem.

The first is panic-selling. Markets fall in year one or two of retirement, headlines get scary, and people move to cash. The solution isn't courage. It's structure. Enough cash to not need to sell. Enough diversification to not be wiped out.

The second is the opposite. Clients who saved their whole life and can't switch the instinct off. Terrified to waste their savings, they miss the travel, the experiences, the time with grandchildren.
