SMSF
With over 12 years’ experience in relation to self managed superannuation funds (SMSF) we are poised to offer great advice and technical expertise in various matters that arise. A self managed superannuation fund creates unique opportunities for members and is an alternative to using one of the major superannuation companies to invest and grow your superannuation. A SMSF places specific responsibilities and obligations on the trustees and with our technical expertise we can ensure they are easily understood.
A desirable quality of why people establish their own superannuation fund, is that it in most cases the members will also be the trustees or directors of the trustee company of the fund. This gives them greater flexibility and control over how their superannuation is managed and the activities of the fund. Another great attraction for business owners is that it can give them greater flexibility in the ability to invest in assets that add value to their business such as commercial property.
Self managed superannuation funds possess significant tax breaks and concessions. As a result, they are very attractive for many business owners which are incorporated in their overall wealth management strategy.
