For most Australians, super is the biggest investment they will ever make. That is why expert advice is essential. If you’re not maximising the significant tax benefits super enjoys, the chances are you're paying too much tax and wasting valuable wealth creation opportunities.
Self-Managed Superannuation Funds (SMSFs) are the most popular vehicle to save for retirement. Of the total money invested in the superannuation market, 32.6% is invested through SMSFs followed by 27.5% in retail funds, 25.5% in industry funds, 11.7% in public sector and 2.7% in corporate plans (figures according to APRA, August 2017).
SMSFs present advantages, such as:
- Greater control over your investment
- Greater choice of investments
- Tax advantages
- Estate planning advantages
- Social security advantages
- On average, better performance than industry and retail funds
- Generally lower fees than industry and retail funds

Our advisers work with you to determine whether a SMSF is right for your circumstances. If it is, we’ll help you through all stages, from setting up to managing your SMSF.
