Self-managed super fund statistical report - March 2011
Self-managed super fund statistical report - March 2011
We publish regular statistical reports for the self-managed super fund (SMFS) market. The contents of this report have been worked out following valuable feedback from the super industry.
The information in this report includes:
- SMSF population and asset allocation tables:
- population of SMSFs and members
- asset allocation (break-up of assets into various classes).
- Annual SMSF population analysis tables:
- asset allocation by asset value of the fund
- membership sizes (SMSFs with 1, 2, 3 or 4 members)
- demographics (state break-up of SMSFs, members and assets)
- member demographics (age and income of members)
- total asset ranges (distribution of the size of SMSFs)
- average assets (per member and per SMSF)
- flow of funds (contributions, transfers, benefits and expenses).
- SMSF quarterly establishment tables:
- demographics (state break up of SMSFs)
- member demographics (age of new members)
- member demographics (income range of new members).
It is worth noting that most of the information in this report is estimated, and caution should be taken when using or presenting this data. The estimations have been based on the data provided by SMSFs reporting their financial position as at 30 June of the relevant financial year.
The SMSF population and asset allocation tables are updated on a quarterly basis. The next report will cover the period up to 30 June 2011 and should be available in August 2011. The remainder of the tables are updated annually when the June quarter updates are published.

Statistics explanatory notes
Much of the information in the statistical tables is estimated based on data reported to us. Caution should be taken when using or presenting this data. The estimates have been based on data provided by SMSFs reporting their financial position as at 30 June of the relevant financial year.
Rounding of figures may cause minor discrepancies to totals.
The SMSF population, asset allocation and establishment tables are updated on a quarterly basis with the remainder of the tables updated annually when the June quarter updates are published.
Quarterly reports (as at the end of March, June, September and December each year) will generally be published between one to two months after the end of the quarter.
Additional information
From the June 2010 report, the 2008-09 SMSF annual return data was incorporated into our asset estimation model. The 2009-10 annual return data will be incorporated into the model for the June 2011 report.
Population and asset allocation tables
The following tables contain details of the population growth and asset allocation of SMSFs. They include details of the number of SMSFs established or wound up during recent financial years (quarterly and annual data) and estimates of the amount of assets held by SMSFs for each type of asset. These tables are updated on a quarterly basis.
SMSF population table - annual data
This table contains details of the number of SMSFs that were established or wound up during each financial year. Establishment date is the date when an SMSF is deemed by the super law to come into existence and can be different from the date the SMSF registers with us.
Windups refer to the financial year when the SMSF actually winds up, rather than the date this advice is received by us. Net establishments are calculated as establishments less windups.
Total number of SMSFs is calculated as the number of SMSFs as at the end of the previous financial year plus net establishments for the financial year.
The number of members of SMSFs is estimated based on SMSF return form data, with the estimates for March 2011 extrapolated from 2008-09 data.
The data was extracted on 11 April 2011.

This table is similar to the SMSF population table - annual data. However, it contains details of the number of SMSFs that established or wound up in each quarter since the June 2008 quarter.
Quarterly establishments and wind-ups for recent quarters may be understated, as there is often a time lag between when this event occurs and when the ATO receives notification from the SMSF. In addition, recent quarter estimates of the total members of SMSFs are extrapolated from 2008-09 return form data.
The data was extracted on 11 April 2011.

These tables contain estimates of the amount of assets held by SMSFs for each type of asset listed on the SMSF income tax and regulatory return (pre June 2008) and the SMSF annual return (June 2008 onwards).
The Assets and Liabilities section of the new SMSF annual return (June 2008 onwards) contains different labels when compared to the Financial Information section of previous returns. There are therefore two asset allocation tables below - one for the period up to June 2007, and one from June 2008 onwards.
The figures for Jun-04 through to Jun-09 are estimates based on return form data for those financial years, with estimates for Mar-11 and recent quarters extrapolated from 2008-09 return form data. Each quarter, these estimates are updated as more return data becomes available. The estimates have been based on data provided by SMSFs reporting their financial position as at 30 June of the relevant financial year.
These estimates relate to the total SMSF population. The data was extracted on 11 April 2011.

The following tables contain demographic information of SMSFs as well as individual members, as at 30 June 2010. They also include a more detailed analysis of asset allocation of SMSFs, as well as estimates of the total amount of 'flows' into and out of SMSFs. These tables are updated on an annual basis, when the June quarter updates are published.
Asset allocation by asset value of the fund table
This table contains the approximate distribution of assets held by SMSFs of different size, based on total fund assets. These tables are based on actual return data for the 2004 through to 2009 financial years.
The data provided by SMSFs is reporting their financial position as at 30 June of the relevant financial year.
The data was extracted on 3 August 2010.

This table shows estimates of the total amount of 'flows' into and out of SMSFs during each financial year. It contains totals relating to the following:
- contributions - member and employer
- transfers - inward and outward
- benefits payments
- operating costs - administration and investment expenses and other expenses.
|
Note that the SMSF annual return does not contain the same expense labels as previous returns. We are currently investigating how to report SMSF operating expenses for the 2008 financial year onwards.
|
These figures are estimates based on SMSF income tax and regulatory return form data for the 2004 to 2007 financial years and SMSF annual return data for the 2008 and 2009 financial years. The data was extracted on 22 July 2010.

The following tables relate to funds established between 1 January 2011 and 31 March 2011. They contain demographic information of funds as well as individual members. The data is sourced from the Australian Business Registration (ABR), at the time of registration.

|
Note that state refers to the state (or territory) that the fund is administered, not necessarily the state that members reside in.
|
