Navigating the great wealth transfer

Australia is on the cusp of one of the biggest intergenerational wealth transfers in history, with an estimated $3.5 trillion expected to change hands over the next decade or two*.

In this episode of Super Insider, Anne Fuchs chats with Gemma Mitchell, co-host of the Australian Finance Podcast and Head of Education at Rask Media, about what the great wealth transfer could mean for younger generations and how you can navigate it.

From understanding your super as one of your biggest assets to making the most of an inheritance, they unpack the strategies, trade-offs and questions worth thinking about now.

Tune in to learn about the following topics:

01:30 - What the great wealth transfer could mean for Gen X and younger generations

03:36 - How to start building wealth by understanding the super you already have

08:28 - What a warm versus cold inheritance is

09:52 - How downsizing a home could create opportunities to build wealth in super

13:15 - What happens to your super when you die

18:20 - Why financial literacy and having the right foundations matter just as much as the money itself
