The data are sourced primarily from ABS Cat No 5655.0, which shows details of assets held by managed funds by type of institution from June 1988. The ABS provides more detailed data than is shown in statistical table B18 and related statistical tables. Also see ABS explanatory notes for full details on data compilation.
Data on total assets of the different types of domestic managed funds are shown on an ‘unconsolidated’ basis and thus include funds cross-invested with other funds. Superannuation funds held in statutory funds of life insurance offices are separately identified and are sourced from APRA. The series for total assets of managed funds on an ‘unconsolidated’ basis is equal to the sum of the components shown. The series for total assets on a ‘consolidated’ basis eliminates identified cross-investment between the various funds.
Data on funds sourced from ‘Other domestic’ are given on a ‘consolidated’ basis, and include funds sourced from governments, charities, other trusts, general insurance companies and other sources. Data on funds sourced from ‘Overseas’ are given on a ‘consolidated’ basis.
Data on the asset allocation of domestic managed funds are given on a ‘consolidated’ basis.
