Self Managed super funds (SMSF)
What is a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF)?
A Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF) is a private superannuation trust structure that provides financial remuneration to its members in retirement. In other words, SMSFs are a way for you to save for your retirement.
SMSFs are regulated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). With a SMSF, the fund members are also the trustees (or directors if there is a corporate trustee), and they are responsible for decisions made about the fund and complying with relevant super and tax laws. SMSFs can have up to four members.
Why choose to set-up a Self Managed Superannuation Fund?
- to gain control over investments while minimising tax burdens
- dissatisfaction with large superannuation funds.
