Superannuation, the ATO, and pink diamonds
This week’s market update has a distinctly local focus, looking at using superannuation to invest in pink diamonds.
Based on the feedback we regularly receive, this is a subject that we know is of huge interest to our client base, which is no surprise given that superannuation is in many cases becoming the largest financial asset most Australians are building.
Below, we discuss the trends in the superannuation space, along with a statement released by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) regarding purchasing pink diamonds inside a SMSF.

This week’s market update builds on recent publications, which have looked at how investors can use their superannuation to invest in pink diamonds, as well as recent rulings from regulators that, prima facie, make it easier for Australian investors to gain exposure to pink diamonds as an asset class.
We’d like to thank readers who have sent through feedback and/or questions – as it is clearly a topic of interest.
To that end, this week’s article focuses not so much on how local investors can buy pink diamonds, but rather why, with a look at some factors specific to Australia that are encouraging investors to include these assets in their portfolio.
