THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL HEALTH PANDEMICS ON SUPERANNUATION
As COVID-19 continues to impact on many aspects of life across the globe, we know that the way we manage your savings has an impact on the world around us. Responsible and Islamic valued superannuation funds like Crescent Wealth consider the social implications of investing in addition to financial return.
This year however, we learnt just how significant the impact the external world has on the superannuation funds and the industry as a whole.
While political, regulatory, economic or technological changes are relatively slow and able to be planned for – the global pandemic demonstrated that rapid changes can happen on a global scale.
COVID-19 has proven how truly interconnected the world is today. Even before coronavirus reached Australia’s shores, many ASX-listed company’s’ supply chains were being impacted by China’s lockdowns early in the year.
The changes to international and domestic travel, the increases in sanitization and social distancing means that the cost of operating has changed significantly during 2020.
For members of superannuation funds, this might mean their employment status has changed, their take home income has been impacted and their ability to contribute to their super has altered.
