What is a SMSF?
A self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) is exactly as the name implies – it is a superannuation account that you manage yourself. It is a superannuation fund with a dedicated bank account, containing your own historically collected superannuation funds, that you control as the appointed Trustee(s).
It is a new legal entity, separate from yourself. It forms a legal relation between you (as Trustee), your investments vehicle (the new SMSF) and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). It is an investment vehicle that permits you, as Trustee(s), to invest in a wide range of investment categories.
What can my SMSF invest in?
Investment permitted by the ATO include:
- Property
- Shares
- Certified Loans
- Collectables such as wine, stamps, art and antiques
- Gold and other precious metals
- Cryptocurrency
- Term Deposits
- Other Super Funds
How much does it cost?
$2,700 (+GST) All Inclusive and the best part is that your new SMSF pays the set-up fees. After the SMSF is created the new fund is charged $2,700 for its creation. Money out of your pocket is effectively zero. Your SMSF has paid for its own creation at a total cost of $2,700 all inclusive.

Control Your Own Money
Control your own money. Gain the flexibility to invest in a much wider range of investments than Industry or Retails Funds can ever provide – including Real Estate.
