Superannuation - SMSF's

Self Managed Super Funds are a way that you can save for your retirement and be in complete control over your investments.

Setting up and managing an SMSF is a major financial undertaking and is not suitable for everyone however, we can assist in management and compliance.

Before setting up a self managed super fund, you should consult with a financial planner who will guide you through the broad range issues you need to consider. We will be able to assist in the related taxation and administration matters.

The benefits in setting up an SMSF in comparison to other superannuation options are:

• Greater control/flexibility
• Wider investment choice
• Possible reduction in administration charges
• Capacity to borrow to acquire assets
• Opportunity to purchase certain assets from fund members (limited to business real property and listed securities)
• In-specie contributions (certain assets rather than cash contribution)

We are not financial planners. We will provide you independent advice on taxation and administrative issues only in relation to advantages and disadvantages of setting up and using a Self Managed Superannuation Fund. Our clients have assets they manage up to $20,000,000. You will find that our advice is impartial, only considering your best interests and is compliant with all government legislation and changes.

When thinking about an SMSF, you will need to consider and seek advice on:

• Limited recourse borrowing arrangements

• Account based pensions
• Transition to retirement income streams
• Reversionary pensions
