How much money do I need to start?
Both ASIC and other commentators suggest you need a Super balance of around $200,000 to make the administration costs of an SMSF worthwhile. We tend to err on the side of caution and suggest the figure should be a little closer to $300,000. Read more...
Can I invest in property?
Yes, SMSFs can now both invest in and borrow to purchase real estate. However you must use a structure established for this purpose and certain conditions must be met. Read more...
What are the restrictions around SMSFs?
The fund is strictly for retirement funds. Any assets or cash in your fund must be strictly for retirement benefits only. You can’t finance your business, buy holiday homes you use, use purchased art assets to decorate your own home and golf club memberships definitely don’t comply. Read more...
Why do you sometimes call it a family super fund (FSF)?
Up to four members of your family can participate in the fund and obtain the same level of benefits. It also means that assets can be passed on through the fund providing a legacy for the next generation.

Do I really need outside help - can’t I do this myself?
If you’re so inclined, certainly it’s possible for you to do it all by yourself. However, before you make that decision, you need to ensure you’ve got the time, the ability and the knowledge to manage your own super. Many people find it hard enough keeping up with their current managed super funds. Read more...
Okay – so how can you help me?
Whilst many people start off thinking they can do it, when they really investigate, they find it’s just too complex to add into an already jam-packed personal schedule. After all, you’re busy doing what it is that you do that’s go you where you are today. Read more...
