While Australia’s superannuation system is often perceived as complex, if used correctly it will provide a retirement lifestyle that ensures very little, if any tax, and provides you with a flexible structure for your retirement wealth.
Super is often underestimated in its importance and wealth advantages, however it’s predicted that due to increasing life expectancy, the average Australian will require income for 20 years after retirement. Putting aside money through a well planned Superannuation strategy can help you to enjoy a more comfortable, well-funded retirement.
For the ultimate control of your retirement savings, Self Managed Super Funds give you flexibility with wealth strategy options, tax minimisation and more. It’s important to be mindful that superannuation law is complex, and every individual situation is unique, which is why our expert advice on the establishment, management and strategy behind your SMSF is a smart choice.
Self Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSF) represent one of the most tax effective investment, wealth creation and estate planning structures in Australia. The number of SMSFs has grown dramatically in recent years and now represents the largest superannuation segment in Australia with more than 500,000 SMSFs now operating for 1 million Australian members.
SMSF Benefits

In addition the other benefits of operating a SMSF include;
- Ability to choose a wide range of investment strategies including different asset classes including direct property with the ability to borrow using limited recourse lending arrangements
