From www.fssuper.com.au: Australian superannuation funds are increasingly investing in the US capital markets, with projections suggesting that total superannuation assets could grow from $4 trillion to $14 trillion over the next 25 years.

Industry leaders are advocating for a shift from domestic to overseas investments, particularly in the US, due to the challenges of generating returns in a saturated local market.

This trend raises concerns about the implications of diverting Australian capital away from domestic opportunities, especially in light of recent US tariff decisions that may indicate a lack of recognition of this investment’s value to the US economy.
