1
What is Self Managed Superannuation Fund
  • Take Better Control of Retirement Funds With A
    SMSF

What is an SMSF?
  • A trust where funds or assets are held and
    controlled on behalf of a maximum of four
    individuals, to provide future retirement
    reimbursement
  • All members of an SMSF must be trustees of the
    fund or directors of the fund's corporate trustee
    (there can be exceptions)

  • Before you take in to note leaving your current
    superannuation fund to establish an SMSF, you
    should confer your options in detail with a Self
    Managed Superannuation Fund specialists or
    superannuation accountants

Benefits of Establishing an SMSF?

    as the investment choice and suppleness
  • Take judgments on your fund's investment strategy
    and the type of assets that are held within your
    fund
  • Permits your fund's investments to be customized
    to suit the precise needs of members, before and
    after retirement

  • An SMSF is taxed at a discount
  • If you ask your SMSF tax experts, you will get to
    know that this tax concession, however, is merely
    obtainable for complying funds which are SMSFs
    that fulfill all the rules set out by the ATO,

Working of Self-Managed Super Funds

    audit by an approved SMSF auditor

    suitable for your risk tolerance and is likely to
    meet your retirement requirements

    and total and permanent disability cover for
