Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 31 January 2025. The topic for this week is: How to use an in specie transfer to increase your super without using cash. Many people don’t realise that assets other than cash can be put into a super fund.
