An SMSF (Self-managed super funds) allows you control over how your retirement assets are invested, in contrast to an industry or retail super fund that manages your investments on your behalf. You must also ensure that the SMSF complies with applicable tax and superannuation rules.
There is always a chance that your fund will underperform while managing an SMSF, which takes a lot of work and expertise. For this reason, it’s a good idea to get in touch with a mortgage broker to see if an SMSF is an appropriate choice for you.
