In this week’s episode, Campbell tackles a variety of complex and timely superannuation and wealth-building questions, starting with the government’s revised $3 million super cap, also known as Division 296. He breaks down what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and why the new rules are far more balanced than the initial proposal. Campbell also explores what high-balance super fund holders should consider, especially those with illiquid assets, such as property.

Listeners also asked about tough decisions around when to stretch for a principal place of residence, whether to sell shares or an investment property to fund a forever home, and how to balance flexibility with long-term security. On the topic of structures, Campbell clarifies the strategic differences between using a family trust vs a company for share investing, whether the same trust can be used for a business, and how corporate beneficiaries fit into the picture.

Whether you’re navigating changing super tax laws, planning a major home purchase, or managing wealth through trusts and structures, this episode is packed with clarity, insight, and practical advice to help you make smarter long-term decisions. Tune in to get the full breakdown and stay ahead of the curve.
