What is an SMSF and how does it work?

A Self-Managed Super Fund is a private superannuation fund managed
by its members instead of a retail or industry super fund. The members
also become trustees (or directors of a corporate trustee), giving
them direct responsibility for investment decisions, administration
and compliance.

Members join the fund

Up to six members in one SMSF

SMSF establishment for
property acquisition

One of the most common reasons people establish an SMSF is to invest in commercial property. Business owners often purchase their own business premises through their super fund, allowing rental income to be paid into the SMSF while building retirement wealth.

Before purchasing property through an
SMSF, it's important to ensure:

01
The fund has the appropriate trustee structure.
02
The investment strategy permits property acquisition.
03
Borrowing arrangements comply with SMSF legislation.
04
The property satisfies the sole purpose test.
Professional structuring at the establishment stage helps avoid costly compliance issues later.

SMSF setup cost: What should you expect?​

The SMSF setup cost varies depending on whether you choose an individual trustee or a corporate trustee structure. A corporate trustee generally involves higher establishment costs because it includes company registration, while an individual trustee is typically the more affordable option.

FOUNDER'S TAKE

Why control over your super comes with responsibility

An SMSF can provide greater control over how retirement savings are invested, but it also comes with significant trustee responsibilities. Unlike traditional super funds, the members of an SMSF are responsible for ensuring the fund remains compliant with ATO regulations.

Before establishing an SMSF, it's important to understand both the opportunities and the obligations involved. We help clients assess whether an SMSF is suitable for their circumstances and explain the ongoing requirements around governance, investment strategy and reporting.

If an SMSF is the right fit, we establish the fund correctly from the beginning, including the trustee structure, trust deed and registrations. Our goal is to make compliance straightforward so clients can focus on managing their long-term retirement strategy with confidence.

General information only. Consider obtaining independent financial advice before making decisions about superannuation structures.
