The statistics on members reflect similar numbers with 51 per cent of members in accumulation, 16 per cent of members in pension phase and 33 per cent of members in mixed phase SMSFs.
The average age of members in these categories was 52 for accumulation, 65 for mixed phase and 72 for pension phase.
