Self Managed Superannuation Fund Advice

If taking full control over your super is important to you, then an SMSF gives you the flexibility to manage your retirement savings the way you want. 

A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) gives you greater control and flexibility over your retirement savings. As the trustee, you can access a wider range of investment options — from direct property to unlisted shares — and tailor a strategy that reflects your goals, values, and comfort with risk. With that control, though, comes responsibility: compliance, paperwork, and important decisions that can be complex to manage alone. That’s where we come in. By partnering with experienced SMSF specialists, you get the confidence that your fund is structured correctly, your obligations are met, and your investments are working effectively to build long-term retirement wealth.

SMSFs can offer many features and benefits generally not available with other super arrangements such as industry and retail funds. The key benefits are:

  • More investment control and choice
  • Borrowing to purchase more significant investments
  • Tax planning
  • Reserving strategies
  • Pooled investment strategies
  • Multi-generational family strategies
  • Increased estate planning certainty and control

 

Is an SMSF right for you?

While running an SMSF can be an excellent strategy for the right person, they are not for everyone. To help in assessing this decision, below are some questions you should be asking yourself.

  • Do you have enough money in super to ensure an SMSF is cost-effective?
  • Do you have the time, energy, expertise and desire to manage your own super fund?
  • Have you fully explored the other types of super funds to see if they are a better fit?
