Operating your own Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF) provides you with the ability to choose your investment options and be in control of your retirement. Running your own fund can provide a range of advantages but involves considerable responsibility and commitment.

An SMSF gives you total control of your Super by allowing you to choose where you invest. This control will allow you to consider investing in a wide range of investments, such as Term Deposits, Domestic & International Shares, and Residential & Commercial Property.

Self-Managed Super Funds

A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is used by many Melbournian’s to allow them to take control of their retirement by managing their superannuation to achieve their retirement goals.

A SMSF is similar to other superannuation fund types, being that it is maintained for the sole purpose of providing retirement benefits to its members. A SMSF can have up to a maximum of 4 members, each which also act as the fund’s trustees and are responsible for managing the fund and its investments.

The trustee holds the fund’s assets for the benefit of its members, but as the trustees are comprised of the members of the fund (whether directly as Trustee or as directors of a Corporates Trustee), it gives them the control of developing the fund’s investment strategy and the flexibility to invest those assets as they decide subject to some restrictions.

The SMSF can invested into most investment product types subject to some restrictions, including shares, commercial property, residential property, and even some rare assets like artwork.
