Self Managed Super Fund – You Should Have One!

By Jason Fittler

For most of us our superannuation will be our largest asset, but not only this, it will be the asset which will provide us the life style which we deserve. At present your employer is paying 9% of your salary into superannuation on your behalf. You also have the ability to top this up through salary sacrifice to $50,000.

But who is looking after this money?  More importantly why are you not taking an active interest in how the funds are being invested?  If you care about your future you should be looking at starting up a Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF). Every year we see more and more people setting up their own SMSF and taking control of their investments.  These people are having a more enjoyable retirement because they’re in control of their future.

There are too many benefits of a SMSF to discuss in this article, but one of the major ones is to control who and when the super fund pays its tax. This can result in superior returns over the long term. It also provides a better platform when you roll over into pension phase.

Worried about the compliance?  Don’t… We take care of all of that for you. To really grow your super, SMSF will have the best results.
