Australia’s SMSF sector continues to expand at pace. According to data in the Alvarez and Marsal “Australian Private Debt Market Review” from November 2025, the September quarter alone saw 14,500 new SMSFs established representing the highest level on record and bringing total sector assets to more than $1 trillion.
