Superannuation is a long term investment where your money is preserved until retirement. SMSF’s allow you to take control of your investments and give you the freedom and flexibility in your investment planning to achieve the lifestyle you want in retirement.
  • The latest statistics, as published by the Australian Tax Office, state that:
  • The number of self managed super funds has grown in Australia to over 308,000
  • New self managed super funds are growing at around 1,800 a month
  • Around 580,000 Australians are members of a SMSF

What is a self managed super fund?

A self managed super fund has:
  • Between 1 to 4 members
  • Each individual SMSF trustee is also a fund member
  • Each member of the fund is a trustee
  • No member of the fund is an employee of another member of the fund, unless those members are related
  • No trustee of the fund receives any remuneration for their services as a trustee

Think of your superannuation fund as a bank account for your retirement and start thinking about what your lack of planning may mean to you. Have you thought about your strategy to fund your retirement? By 2044/45 a quarter of the Australian population, approximately 7 million will be aged over 65 so it is important to start investing for your financial future now.
