Financial asset investors have benefited from a generally strong domestic sharemarket performance and robust profit margins over the past few years. Typically, industry funds are invested in equities, and industry revenue depends on various sharemarket performances. The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing inflationary pressures significantly disrupted both local and global equity markets, which limited industry performance. Yet, total assets have continued to accumulate over recent years, compounding returns for investors, assisted by previously low interest rates. Overall, industry revenue is expected to climb at an annualised 6.2% over the five years through 2024-25, to $176.3 billion. The low-interest rate environment that characterised the trading landscape until recently affected fixed-income assets' performance, which changed the mix of funds held in various industry investment vehicles. More recently, market volatility and cash rate hikes have led to investors increasingly moving to cash management trusts because of their perceived safety as investment instruments. Related elevated interest rates and negative business confidence are set to hurt returns for many investors in 2024-25, particularly investment portfolios geared for higher risk. Despite these pressures, investor incomes are set to swell by 1.7% in the current year off the back of an anticipated strong domestic sharemarket performance, bumped by strong business profit. A falling MSCI world index and negative consumer sentiment have the potential to continue softening investment performance over the coming years. Yet, inflationary pressures and interest rates are set to gradually ease as trading conditions improve. Projected global financial stability and a sluggish appreciation of the Australian dollar may set the stage for a resurgence in overseas investment in Australian markets, yet continued changes implemented by the FIRB may limit the willingness of overseas investors to spend domestically. The influence of superannuation funds over the industry may continue to rise, drawing funds from retail investors, yet they themselves are a large market. For this reason, continued increases to the Superannuation Guarantee Scheme are likely to boost assets at the disposal of pension funds. Overall, financial asset investor incomes are projected to continue growing at an annualised 3.2% through 2029-30, to total $206.6 billion.
