Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF)

Unsure if a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is the right strategy for you? We specialise in guiding you through the complexities and opportunities of managing your retirement savings.

Gain control over your retirement strategy

An SMSF offers unique benefits such as direct property ownership, giving you greater control over your investment strategy and potential tax advantages. Navigating the responsibilities of an SMSF requires expertise. We help you assess whether establishing an SMSF aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. For existing SMSF owners, we offer comprehensive ongoing support to optimize your fund’s performance and compliance.

From initial setup and investment strategy formulation to ongoing management and compliance, we provide a full spectrum of SMSF services tailored to your needs.

Is an SMSF worth it?

A Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) can be a great option if you’re looking to maximise your retirement savings through strategic investments. However, you have to be willing to take on that responsibility and have a large enough balance for it to be beneficial due to the additional administration, accounting and annual auditing costs associated to ensure the SMSF remains compliant. 

Generally speaking the minimum balance to establish an SMSF is $200,000. ASIC has removed the minimum balance requirements to establish an SMSF. However, research completed by the University of Adelaide found balances with less than $200,000 are likely to achieve considerably lower net returns compared with funds with balances of $200,000 or more. 

Where we see an SMSF becoming beneficial

  • Business Owners looking to purchase their workspace, office, or commercial property. (Sole Purpose Test must be met)
  • Sophisticated property investors with balances over $500,000 looking to acquire direct property.
  • Experienced investors looking to manage their own money leading into retirement. 

 

The industry and retail superannuation space in Australia has come along leaps and bounds over the past decade in terms of their product offerings. Investors have access to 90% of global asset classes through these platforms without the need to establish a Self Managed Super Fund.
