The Benefits of Self Managed Superannuation

What the majority of us understand as Super Funds are set up by a central trustee for the profits of all the members. The difference for a SMSF is that the Trustee might be you. The profits of this way are as follows:



  • You would be able to choose how contributions are made as;
  • All the members can make decisions about the fund;
  • You require just a least of $150,000 to make the investment worthwhile;
  • You can have an insurance policies for the members;
  • Access to qualified information to support in running the fund from the ATO, incorporating procurement of forms;
  • You could nominate particular beneficiaries or leave it to the fund trustee to regulate profits efficiently to reduce taxes;
  • Pooling of possessions for increased diversity of investment;
  • You can choose how the funds should be invested.



You would be able to choose whether your contributions are personal contributions, employer contributions, super co-contributions, salary sacrifice contributions or eligible companion contributions.
All parts can make decisions about how their trusts are administered, provided they consent to the trust deed which layouts the backing procedures, then the transaction may occur. Each member will have their own account of contributions, investments and fees.
The ATO has exceptional advice about Self Managed Superannuation Funds to keep the trustee educated about changes in legislation. The trustee will rely on this guidance in settling on contribution determinations, accounting and reporting commitments.
