Take Charge

It’s important to have a goal in place when making super plans. Think about the sort of goals you have for life after work such as travel or hobbies, and consider whether you have the funds to make it happen. Fine–tune your plans to match your likely retirement income.

Benefits & risk

With a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF), you gain direct control over where and how your super is invested, offering you a broad array of investment choices.  Additionally, your SMSF provides the opportunity to make larger investments by leveraging both the cash in your fund and borrowing to acquire assets such as shares and property. 

Running your own Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) comes with strict legal obligations and potential penalties for non-compliance. Setting up an SMSF requires significant time and financial investment, both for its establishment and for managing its day-to-day operations. As a trustee, you are responsible for making informed investment decisions.
