    May 28, 2026, 7:38 PM EDT. Australia's superannuation system, with over $4.5 trillion in assets, is driving growth for ASX-listed financial firms. Hub24 (ASX: HUB) saw 22% year-on-year growth in funds under administration to $151.7 billion in Q3 FY2026, benefiting from adviser migration to its tech platform. Netwealth (ASX: NWL) reported record fund inflows, boosting shares 10% in one session amid rising revenue and earnings. Perpetual (ASX: PPT), overseeing $219.2 billion in assets, is focusing on institutional asset management after selling its wealth unit, improving its balance sheet. These companies are well-positioned to capture Australia's compulsory superannuation contributions, which increase by 12% of salaries fortnightly, creating a sustained opportunity in financial services.
