Superannuation Assets — methodology

What this metric measures

Total assets held by APRA-regulated superannuation entities each quarter. Excludes self-managed super funds (around a quarter of the system), which APRA does not publish as a quarterly series.

Why it matters: Super is the main form of household wealth outside the home; its growth compounds into future retirement incomes.
